Oda Nobuhide ( Japanese 織田 信 秀 ; * 1508 , 1510 or 1511 in Shobata Castle; † April 8, 1551 in Suemori Castle) was a local Japanese feudal lord during the Sengoku period in Japan and deputy Shugo of Owari Province . He was the father of the first unifier, Oda Nobunaga .

Life

Oda Nobuhide was the head of the Oda clan , who controlled half of Owari Province at the beginning of the 16th century . His father was Oda Nobusada . His father Oda Toshisada had received Kiyosu Castle from the Shiba a few years earlier . Oda Nobuhide himself rose to the position of deputy to the Shugos (military governor) of Owari, but soon ruled largely autonomously. During his reign Nobuhide made attempts to expand his sphere of influence at the expense of the neighbors. However, this was only partially successful. In 1547 he lost a battle against Saitō Dōsan and had to stop the campaign; At the same time, however, he was now perceived by his powerful neighbor as a notable factor in the region: Two years later, Oda Nobuhide married his son Nobunaga to Saitō Dōsan's daughter, which can be seen as proof that the Oda now had a certain military strength. Oda Nobuhide died of illness in April 1551 and was inherited by his son Oda Nobunaga.
