Continuing with Battle of Okehazama month posts, this one is short discussing Futamata Castle. During the time of Battle of Okehazama, Matsui Munenobu (1515-60) was the Lord of Futamata Castle which was located in Totomi Province.
Now is is a snippet years later when the Takeda surrounded the Castle in 1572.
Chronicle of Lord Nobunaga (p. 176)
"This is what happened on the Totomi front.
In the last decade of the Eleventh Month, reports came in that Takeda Shingen had surrounded Futamata Castle in Totomi. Lord Nobunaga immediately sent a force under his household elders Sakuma Uemon no Jo, Hirate Jinzaemon, Mizuno Shimotsuke no Kami to the relief, but by the time this force arrived at Hamamatsu in Totomi, Futamata had fallen."
This was the prelude to the Battle of Mikatagahara.
Nobunaga no tame!
