Normally I usually do not post much on Nobunaga's conquest of Omi, but this short video from King of Zipangu does a good job explaining it. In 1568, Nobunaga attacked southern Omi. Rokkaku Jotei was in command of Kannonji Castle.
Chronicle of Lord Nobunaga (p. 120) "On the 11th, Nobunaga set up a field camp by the Echi River and conducted a reconnaissance on horseback. He decided to bypass the enemy's minor forts and assault Kannonji and Mount Mitsukuri, the strongholds held by Sasaki himself and his two sons ( Yoshiharu and Katanaga). This operation began
On the 12th, when Nobunaga ordered Sakuma Uemon, Kinoshita Tokichiro, Niwa Gorozaemon, and Azai Shinpachi (Masazumi) to storm the fortress of Mount Mitsukuri. The battle lasted from the Hour of the Monkey (about 4 p.m.) into the night, when the castle fell."
Tenka no tame!

That taiga could have been so good if it weren't for the most annoying OC in existence XD
And I feel like they should have added one more episode to the end. Honnoji is a cliffhanger, it doesn't feel like closure. They should have shown the immediate aftermath, maybe with Nobu appearing as a ghost/hallucination (Mitsuhide was already tripping balls from insomnia in the last few episodes, plus there are occasional ghosts in the taiga).
