Here is a decent video about the 15th and last Ashikaga shogun Ashikaga Yoshiaki (1537-97). Ijin Sugao Rirekisho does a good job and a balanced view on Yoshiaki. Yes, he was known to be cruel, feeble minded, and know to be the beggar shogun, but he was known to be skilled at brush writing. Unfortunately, Yoshiaki did not have retainers, the army, nor money. Without Nobunaga taking him to Kyoto in 1568, he would have been a nobody. Yes, the video goes into detail about the 17 point letter and Nobunaga banishing Yoshiaki in 1573. With Yoshiaki's banishment, the Ashikaga shogunate was finished.
I highly suggest you watch the video before it is pulled down.
Nobunaga no tame!
