In 1567, a peace agreement between the Oda and Takeda clans was sealed with the betrothal of Nobutada and Matsuhime, the daughter of Takeda Shingen.
In 1572 Shingen broke the peace agreement and invaded eastern Mikawa, held by the Tokugawa clan. This campaign led to the death of Shingen and the destruction of the Ashikaga shogunate in 1573.
In 1577, he defeated Matsunaga Hisahide in the Siege of Shigisan.
In 1582, he defeated Nishina Morinobu in the Siege of Takato.[1]
Honnō-ji Incident
In 1582, his father was forced to commit suicide when one of his generals, Akechi Mitsuhide, turned against him (see Honnō-ji Incident). Nobutada was set upon by Akechi's men and forced to commit seppuku himself.[1]:69
