One of the Three Men of Western Mino, Veteran Mino Warrior Who Aided Nobunaga in Taking Inabayama Castle
Description
Andō Morinari (1503-1582) was a Sengoku-period warlord of Mino Province and one of the Three Men of Western Mino (Nishi-Mino Sanninshū: Inaba Ittetsu, Ujiie Bokuzen, and Andō Morinari). Originally in the service of the Saitō clan, he secretly sided with Oda Nobunaga in 1567, together with Inaba Ittetsu and Ujiie Bokuzen, and contributed to the surrender of Inabayama Castle (Gifu Castle). He then served Nobunaga, but in Tenshō 8 (1580) he was suspected of secret communication with the Takeda clan and was expelled by Nobunaga. After the Honnōji Incident, in Tenshō 10 (1582), he raised troops aiming to recover his former domain, but he was attacked by his former ally Inaba Ittetsu and was defeated and killed.
