Although Katsuie had managed to escape to Kitanosho-jo Castle, the castle was besieged by Hideyoshi's army led by Toshiie MAEDA on June 13, resulting in the suicides of Katsuie, his wife Lady Oichi, and others the next day. 勝家は北ノ庄城に逃れるものの、4月23日 (旧暦)(6月13日)には前田利家を先鋒とする秀吉の軍勢に包囲され、翌日に夫人のお市の方らとともに自害した。 |
