Hatano Hideharu

The reason that such a minor clan as his had attended the Emperor Ōgimachi's coronation is believed to be due to the influence of Nagayoshi.

Infuriated, Nobunaga again ordered Mitsuhide to invade Tanba Province, but Hideharu remained in the castle and held together a resistance for three years.

[1] According to a record kept by Oda clan, Mitsuhide offered his mother as a hostage to allow to Hideharu surrender with dignity.

However, after arriving at Azuchi Castle to offer an apology, Hideharu was executed by Nobunaga.

His troops in Yakami Castle, hearing that Hideharu had been executed, killed Mitsuhide's mother.
