Japanese: ところが義昭と信長の関係は徐々に悪化し、元亀3年（1572年）、義昭の信長追討令に応じた武田信玄が西上を開始し三方ヶ原の戦いで勝利を収めたのを知ると、翌4年（1573年）3月に義昭は二条城において信長に対し挙兵する。

Japanese: 当時は「武家御所」「武家御城」などと呼ばれていた（この城が二条にあったとするのは「信長公記」永禄12年2月2日(旧暦)（1569年2月17日）条が初出か）。

English: When Nobunaga came to stay in the capital in April of 1576 he stayed at Myokaku-ji Temple in Nijo (different from its present location), but he was enamored with the view of the garden at the Nijo family's mansion which was adjacent to the temple on the east side.
Japanese: 信長は天正4年（1576年）4月に京に滞在した際、二条の妙覚寺（現在地とは異なる）に宿泊したが、寺の東側に隣接する二条家の屋敷の庭の眺望を気に入った。
English: At the time, Nijo-tei (Nijo-dono) mansion was widely known as the most famous of the famous places that always appeared on panoramic screen paintings of Kyoto and environs.
Japanese: 二条邸（二条殿）は当時、「洛中洛外図屏風」に必ず登場する名所中の名所として広く知られていた。
English: It was vacant because Nobunaga, jus prior to his visit, had arranged for the previous occupants, father and son Haruyoshi and Akizane NIJO (whose wife was an adopted daughter of Nobunaga) to move to a new mansion near Hoon-ji Temple (Tokitsunekyoki); Nobunaga ordered Sadakatsu MURAI, the Kyoto Shoshidai, to take possession of it and renovate it so that Nobunaga could stay in it while in the capital.
Japanese: 前住者の二条晴良・昭実（妻は信長の養女）父子は直前に信長のはからいにより報恩寺の新邸に移徒して（『言経卿記』）空き家となっていたので、信長が上洛したときの宿所とするため、この旧二条邸を譲り受けて改修することを京都所司代の村井貞勝に命じた。
English: Nobunaga occupied it for the first time in July of the following year, the improvements were finished at the end of August, and for about 2 years after that this "Nijo Goshinzo" was his residence in the capital.
Japanese: 翌年の閏7月に信長は初めて入邸、8月末には改修が終わり、以後2年ほどはこの「二条御新造」を京の宿所とする。
English: In November of 1580, Nobunaga gave this mansion to Crown Prince Sanehito.
Japanese: 天正7年（1580年）11月に、信長はこの邸を儲君の誠仁親王に献上した。
English: Right away Prince Sanehito and Prince Gonomiya (later Prince Kuniyoshi) moved into this "Nijo Shin-gosho" (it is thought that Nobunaga treated Gonomiya as a son, although there is a common misconception that this was Emperor Ogimachi's Gonomiya, Prince Sanehito, when it was actually the Prince Sanehito's Gonomiya).
Japanese: 直ちに、誠仁親王と皇子の五の宮（後の邦慶親王）がこの「二条新御所」に転居した（なお、この際信長は五の宮を猶子としたとされており、これを正親町天皇の五の宮である誠仁親王にあてる誤解があるが、正しくは親王の五の宮が猶子となったのである）。
English: In 1582, when the Incident at Honno-ji Temple occurred, Nobunaga's heir Nobutada ODA, who was at Myokaku-ji Temple, set out to join Nobunaga at Honno-ji [to fight] as soon as heard about it.
Japanese: 天正10年（1582年）、本能寺の変が起きると、妙覚寺にいた信長の嫡男・織田信忠主従はそれを知るや本能寺の信長と合流するため出撃しようとしていた。
English: However, Kyoto Shoshidai Sadakatsu MURAI and his sons came running with the news that Honno-ji had already fallen and they recommended him to move to the well-defended Nijo Shin-gosho.
Japanese: しかし、そこに京都所司代・村井貞勝とその子らが駆けつけ、本能寺が既におちた旨を伝え、防御能力に優れた二条新御所へ移ることを進言した。
English: Nobutada was besieged there after he allowed Prince Sanehito and others to flee to the Imperial Palace; even though he fought desperately with the surrounding Akechi army Nobutada, Sadakatsu and over 60 others died in the battle, and Nijo Shin-gosho and the adjacent Myokaku-ji Temple were reduced to ashes.
Japanese: 信忠は誠仁親王らを禁裏御所に避難させた上でここに籠城し、これを攻囲する明智勢と奮戦するが、信忠を始め貞勝ら60余名が討ち死にし、二条新御所も隣接する妙覚寺と共に灰燼に帰した。
English: Now, there is a stone monument at Ryogaemachi-dori Oike Agaru with the words "Near Here are The Ruins of Nijo-dono" carved on it; another one at Muromachi-dori Oike Agaru that says "Nijo-dono Oike Remnants."
Japanese: 現在は両替町通御池通上ルに「此附近二条殿址」、室町通御池上ルに「二条殿御池跡」と彫られた石碑が建っている。
English: There are areas in the vicinity called Nijoden-cho, Oikeno-cho, as well as Kamimyokakuji-cho and Shimomyokakuji-cho, which had connections with the Incident at Honno-ji Temple.
Japanese: 付近には「二条殿町」「御池之町」及び本能寺の変ゆかりの「上妙覚寺町」「下妙覚寺町」の地名が残る。
English: Currently, there is a popular story that says this Nijo Palace was built on the remains of Yoshiaki's Nijo-jo Castle.
Japanese: 現在、この二条御所は義昭の二条城跡に設けられたものとする説が広まっている。
English: However, because at the time of Prince Sanehito it was called "Shimo no Gosho" in contrast to the Imperial Palace being called "Kami no Gosho," it is thought to have been located to the south of the Imperial Palace.
Japanese: しかし誠仁親王当時、禁裏「上の御所」に対し「下の御所」と呼ばれていたから禁裏南方にあったと思われる。
English: Furthermore, based on the fact that Nobutada had moved from Myokaku-ji Temple at the time of the Incident at Honno-ji Temple, it can be surmised that these temples were located near each other; from reports that Tokitsune YAMASHINA "viewed the Udaisho family's new Nijo mansion" on October 5, 1576, and "viewed the samurai's old castle" on the following day of October 6 when he witnessed the stone walls being torn down and hauled away (Tokitsune Kyoki), it is clear that it [Nijo Shin-gosho] was at a different location.
Japanese: また本能寺の変に際して信忠が妙覚寺から移動したことから両所は近接していたことが推測できるし、山科言経が天正4年9月13日(旧暦)（1576年10月5日）に「右大将家二条新邸を見物」、翌9月14日(旧暦)（10月6日）には「武家古城を見物」し石垣の取り壊し・搬出を目撃しているから（『言経卿記』）、明らかに別の場所にあったとすべきである。
English: Hideyoshi had a mansion next to Nijo Goshinzo even while Nobunaga was alive, but in 1580 it was confiscated by Nobunaga and given to former Kanpaku Sakihisa KONOE, who was a favorite of Nobunaga (Kanemi Kyoki).
Japanese: 秀吉は信長在世中にも二条御新造の隣接地に屋敷を有していたが、天正8年（1580年）に信長によって没収されてお気に入りであった前関白・近衛前久に献上されている（『兼見卿記』）。
English: Ironically, at the time of the Incident at Honno-ji Temple, it was said that after the KONOE family fled from this mansion the Akechi army occupied it and attacked Nijo Shin-gosho from there; before long there was a rumor that Sakihisa had given his support to Mitsuhide.
Japanese: 皮肉にも本能寺の変の際、近衛家家人が逃げ出したこの屋敷を占拠した明智軍がここから二条新御所を攻撃したという話があり、やがてそれに尾ひれが付いて前久が光秀に加担したとの風説が流された。
English: Later, in 1583, Hideyoshi, who had made his headquarters in Osaka, built Nijodai as a base in Kyoto.
Japanese: その後天正11年（1583年）、本拠地を大坂に定めた秀吉は京都における拠点として「二条第」を構えた。
English: It is also called Myoken-ji Castle because it was built on the former site of Myoken-ji Temple after it was moved.
Japanese: 妙顕寺を移転させその跡地に建設されたことから「妙顕寺城」とも呼ばれる。
English: Since there was a moat around it and a keep, it seems more appropriate to call it a castle rather than a mansion.
Japanese: 周囲に堀を巡らし天主もあったことから屋敷というより城という方が相応しかったのだろう。
English: It was located 200 meters east of Nijo-jo Castle, and there are still places around present-day Nakagyo Ward's Ogawa-dori Street and Oshikoji-dori Street called Furushiro-cho (old castle town) and Shimofurushiro-cho.
Japanese: 所在地は二条城の東200メートル、現中京区小川通押小路通付近、地名に「古城（ふるしろ）町」「下古城（しもふるしろ）町」を遺している。

Japanese: 寛永元年から大規模な改修が行われ、尾張藩や紀伊藩などの親藩・譜代の19家が石垣普請を担当した。
English: Ieyasu TOKUGAWA, victorious in the Battle of Sekigahara, decided to build a castle at Omiya Oshikoji to be used as his residence during his stay in the capital; he began removing townhouses in May of 1600 and split the cost of construction and labor with the daimyo of the western provinces in December.
Japanese: 関ヶ原の戦いで勝利した徳川家康は上洛時の宿所として大宮押小路に築城を決め、慶長6年（1601年）5月から町屋の立ち退きを開始、12月に西国諸大名に造営費用および労務の割り当てを行った。
English: He appointed Kyoto Shoshidai Katsushige ITAKURA to be the construction director and Masakiyo NAKAI as the master builder over the project.
Japanese: 造営総奉行に京都所司代板倉勝重、作事（建築）の大工棟梁に中井正清が任じられた。

Japanese: 家康は慶長8年（1603年）2月に伏見城において征夷大将軍補任の宣旨を受け、3月に竣工間もない二条城に入城、室町幕府以来の慣例に基づく「拝賀の礼」を行うため、御所への行列を発した。
English: After that the statesmen and nobles were invited for an inaugural celebration at Nijo-jo Castle.
Japanese: それに続き、二条城において重臣や公家衆を招いて将軍就任の祝賀の儀を行った。
English: The 2nd Shogun Hidetada TOKUGAWA followed this procedure upon assuming the office of Shogun 2 years later in 1605, as did the 3rd Shogun Iemitsu TOKUGAWA in 1623, but the 4th Shogun Ietsuna TOKUGAWA and the later Shoguns did not.
Japanese: この将軍就任の手順は2年後の慶長10年（1605年）に第2代将軍・徳川秀忠が、元和(日本)9年（1623年）に第3代将軍徳川家光が踏襲するが、第4代将軍・徳川家綱以降は行われなくなった。
English: In 1611 a meeting was held in Nijo-jo Castle's palace (present-day Ninomaru Palace) between Ieyasu and Hideyori TOYOTOMI; it is said that at this time Ieyasu was surprised at Hideyori's growth, became afraid that the TOKUGAWA family might be overthrown and he decided to destroy the Toyotomi family.
Japanese: 慶長16年（1611年）に、二条城の御殿（現在の二の丸御殿）において家康と豊臣秀頼の会見が行われるが、このとき家康は秀頼の成長ぶりに驚き徳川家の天下が覆されるかもしれないとの危機感を抱き、豊臣家を滅ぼすことを決意したとも言われている。

Japanese: 翌慶長20年（1615年）の夏の陣においては二条城に火をかけ、混乱の中で家康を暗殺しようとした陰謀が明らかとなり、徳川方についていた古田重然の家臣が捕縛された。
English: After Ieyasu died in 1616, Hidetada carried out renovations of Nijo-jo Castle starting in 1619 in order to prepare for the marriage of his daughter, Masako TOKUGAWA, to Emperor Gomizunoo.
Japanese: 元和2年（1616年）に家康が没した後、元和5年（1619年）から秀忠は娘・徳川和子の後水尾天皇への入内に備え、二条城の改修を行う。
English: Hidetada himself worked on the basic designs, together with Takatora TODO (although Hidetada only made the final decision on one of the two proposed designs Takatora touted as the Shogun's own design).
Japanese: このときの縄張（基本設計）は秀忠自らが藤堂高虎と共に行った（秀忠は2つの案から一方を最終選定しただけだが、将軍自らの縄張りであると高虎に持ち上げられたのだった）。

Japanese: 秀忠死後の寛永11年（1634年）7月、家光が30万7千の兵を引きつれ上洛し、二条城に入城したのを最後に二条城が将軍を迎えることは途絶え、幕末の動乱期までの230年間、二条城は歴史の表舞台から姿を消す。
