Battle of Gifu Castle

The Battle of Gifu Castle (岐阜城の戦い, Gifu-jō no Tatakai) was a battle in August 1600 that led to the destruction of Gifu Castle in Gifu, Mino Province (modern-day Gifu Prefecture), Japan. The battle served as a prelude to the Battle of Sekigahara the following month. It pitted Oda Hidenobu of the western forces (and loyal to Toyotomi Hideyori) against Ikeda Terumasa and Fukushima Masanori of the eastern forces (and loyal to Tokugawa Ieyasu). The castle was destroyed as a result of the battle.^[1]
