Oda Nobuhide
Oda Nobuhide (織田 信秀, 1510 – 1551) was a Japanese daimyō in Owari, as well as the head of the Oda clan.[1]
Nobuhide was born to a secondary line of the Oda family, but due to his competence, he brought his relatives under his control and became the daimyō of Owari. Due to his dominion over the province, he was in constant conflict his neighbours to the east and north, Imagawa Yoshimoto and Saitō Dōsan, repectively. In 1549, as part of the peace agreement between the clans, Nobuhide's son and heir, Nobunaga, married Dōsan's daugther, Nōhime. Nobuhide had designated Nobunaga as his heir early on, charging four of his high-ranking subordinates, including Hirate Masahide, with his son's education.[1]
Nobuhide died in 1551 and, though Nobunaga was his heir, the young man had to consolidate power once again in the province.[1]
