Akechi Mitsuhide was one of Oda Nobunaga's retainers, and in 1571 received the fief of Sakamoto. In 1579 he lead a campaign against the Hatano, capturing Yakami castle by capturing Hatano Hideharu's mother. Akechi promised the family she would be safely treated as a hostage, but Oda had her crucified. The Hatano accused Akechi of treachery, and his own mother was killed in retaliation.
