Honkokuji


 Here is a video by Owada Tetsuo explaining the Miyoshi raid on Honkokuji in 1569.  Honkokuji was located in Kyoto and Ashikaga Yoshiaki was also residing there as well.

Chronicle of Lord Nobunaga (p. 128)

"On the 4th of the First Month, the Miyoshi Triumvirs together with Saito Uhyoe no Tayu Tatsuoki, Nagai Hayato and others, having recruited ronin from southern parts, surrounded the shogun and his temple residence at Rokujo. Yakushiji Kurozaemon commanded their advance guard.  His soldiers burnt down the neighborhood in front of the gate and were on the point of forcing their way inside the temple."

Rokujo was located at Honkokuji.  Also this was first appearance of Akechi Mitsuhide.

I wrote a post on this last year:Http://otsuke.blogspot.com/2019/11/mitsuhide-in-shincho-ko-ki.html
