English: Since Mitsuhide had become Nobunaga's vassal to intermediate between Yoshiaki ASHIKAGA and Nobunaga, he could not refuse the offer from Yoshiaki, to whom he was indebted and closely related.
Japanese: 光秀には足利義昭と信長の懇親役として信長の家臣となった経歴があるため、恩義も関係も深い義昭からの誘いを断りきれなかったのではないかとする説。
English: The Emperor, who thought that Nobunaga was thinking of replacing the Inner Palace, ordered Mitsuhide to stop him, resulting in Mitsuhide's committing treason.
Japanese: 「信長には内裏に取って代わる意思がある」と考えた朝廷から命ぜられ、光秀が謀反を考えたのではないかとする説。
English: The premise of this theory is the claim by some that Nobunaga started to forcibly lobby Emperor Seishincho for transfer of political power around 1582, recent discovery of the remains of Azuchi-jo Castle Honmaru Goten, which may have been built after the Dairi Seiryoden.
Japanese: この説の前提として、天正10年（1582年）頃に信長は正親町天皇譲位などの強引な朝廷工作を行い始めており、また近年発見された安土城本丸御殿の遺構から、安土城本丸は内裏清涼殿の構造をなぞって作られた、という意見を掲げる者もいる。
English: Recently, Kyoko TACHIBANA has pointed out in her various papers based on "Tensho Junen (1582) Natsuki" and others that the Emperor, or Prince Sanehito and Sakihisa KONOE, were the key persons.
Japanese: 近年、立花京子は「天正十年夏記」等をもとに、朝廷すなわち誠仁親王と近衛前久がこの変の中心人物であったと各種論文で指摘している。
English: "Tensho Junen Natsuki", on which the so-called "Imperial Puppet theory" was based, is part of the diary of Haretoyo KAJUJI, Buke Tenso and Prince Sanehito's step brother, and is highly reliable as historical material.
Japanese: この｢朝廷黒幕説｣とも呼べる説の主要な論拠となった「天正十年夏記」は、誠仁親王の義弟で武家伝奏の勧修寺晴豊の日記の一部であり、史料としての信頼性は高い。
English: According to the Tachibana theory, although it may be a fact that Emperor Seishincho recovered from a poor financial situation by creating a mutually dependent relationship with Nobunaga, it cannot be concluded that Nobunaga and the Emperor were on good terms.
Japanese: 立花説の見解に従えば、正親町天皇が信長と相互依存関係を築くことにより、窮乏していた財政事情を回復させたのは事実としても、信長と朝廷の間柄が良好であったという解釈は成り立たない。
English: Taking into account the problem of the recommendation of Nobunaga for the three positions, it would seem that the Emperor saw a crisis in Nobunaga's series of actions.
Japanese: 三職推任問題等を考慮すると、朝廷が信長の一連の行動に危機感を持っていたことになる。
English: In the same book, however, the rumor that Maehisa KONOE was involved in Mitsuhide's rebellion is described as "HIKIYO," and if this is to be understood as "nonsense," the highly reliable Maehisa Connection theory disappears (Masanobu HASHIMOTO Theory).
Japanese: ただし、同じ本に近衛前久が光秀の謀反に関わっていたという噂は「ひきよ」と記されており、これを「非拠（でたらめ）」と解するならばその信頼性ゆえに一転して前久関与説が消滅するとの指摘がある（橋本政宣説）。
English: The value of the historical materials depends on whether "HIKIYO" is understood to mean outrageous/violent, or nonsense.
Japanese: 「ひきよ」を非道、暴挙と読むか根拠のないことと解釈するかで歴史的な資料の価値が全く異なってくる。
English: The idea of a connection with the Emperor or the imperial family is often argued along with the idea of a plot by Yoshiaki ASHIKAGA and a plot involving Atago Hyakuin poet Jo-SATOMURA, using contemporary historical materials as proof.
Japanese: 朝廷又は公家関与説は、足利義昭謀略説、「愛宕百韻」の連歌師里村紹巴との共同謀議説と揃って論証されることが多く、それだけに当時の歴史的資料も根拠として出されている。
English: For that reason much attention has been paid to these ideas, but no conclusion has been reached because of the complicated historical situation of those times.
Japanese: そのため、近年、最も有力な説として注目されているが、当時の歴史的情勢の複雑さから、必ずしも断定的な結論に至っていない。
English: Mitsuhide was also instrumental in getting Toshimitsu SAITO's sister married to Motochika CHOSOKABE, but in 1580 Nobunaga changed his policy and tried to govern Shikoku with force, for which Mitsuhide lost face.
Japanese: そして光秀は斎藤利三の妹を長宗我部元親に嫁がせ婚姻関係を結ぶまでこぎつけたが、天正8年（1580年）に入ると織田信長は武力による四国平定に方針を変更し光秀の面目は丸つぶれになった。
English: Another theory says Mitsuhide (actually Toshimitsu) attacked Honno-ji Temple right before troops gathered in Osaka to attack Shikoku.
Japanese: 大坂に四国討伐軍が集結する直前を見計らって光秀（正確には利三）が本能寺を襲撃したとする説。
English: This is the theory that the real powers that helped Nobunaga govern the whole country were the church and Southern European forces, which were at that time looking to make inroads into Asia with Jesuits in the lead.
Japanese: 信長の天下統一の事業を後押しした黒幕を、当時のイエズス会を先兵にアジアへの侵攻を目論んでいた教会、南欧勢力とする。
English: Since Nobunaga implemented policies which deviated from the plans of the Jesuits, Spain and Portugal to expand their colonies, Mitsuhide directed Honno-ji no Hen with Christianized warriors.
Japanese: 信長が、パトロンであるイエズス会及びスペイン、ポルトガルの植民地拡張政策の意向から逸脱する独自の動きを見せたため、キリスト教に影響された武将と謀り、本能寺の変が演出されたとする説（『信長と十字架』）。
English: Though this theory includes an alliance between Yoshishige OTOMO and Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI, there is another theory that Jesuit troops plotted to kill Nobunaga with other Christian Daimyos.
Japanese: この説には大友義鎮と豊臣秀吉の同盟関係が出てくるが、他にイエズス会内の別働隊が、キリシタン大名と組んで信長謀殺を謀ったとする説も出てきている。
English: Whether those theories are true or not, each has an issue of profit brought about by trading of niter, new guns and so on in addition to religious issues.
Japanese: いずれも宗教上の問題以外に硝石、新式鉄砲等の貿易の利ざやがあったとされる。
English: As for Ieyasu, it can be said to be because his oldest son Nobuyasu MATSUDAIRA and his wife Tsukimiyadono were forced to commit suicide by Nobunaga's order.
Japanese: 家康の場合、信長の命により、長男松平信康と正室築山殿を自害させられたことが恨みの原因といわれている。
English: Later, Ieyasu recommended Fuku (Kasuga no Tsubone), Toshimitsu SAITO's child by his wife, and Mitsuhide AKECHI's cousin (child of Mitsuhide's sister), to be Iemitsu TOKUGAWA's nurse (actually, Katsushige ITAKURA, the Kyoto Shoshidai, recommended Fuku).
Japanese: 後に家康が、明智光秀の従弟（父の妹の子）斎藤利三の正室の子である福（春日局）を徳川家光の乳母として特段に推挙している（実際に福を推挙したのは京都所司代の板倉勝重）。
English: As for Hideyoshi, some say that he felt uneasy about the future since Nobumori SAKUMA and Hidesada HAYASHI were dismissed (the fact that his return from the Chugoku region was so conveniently timed is a basis for suspicion).
Japanese: 秀吉の場合は、佐久間信盛や林秀貞達が追放され、将来に不安を持ったという説がある（中国大返しの手際が良過ぎることも彼への疑惑の根拠となっている）。
English: In addition to the theories outlined above, there is also a theory that says that Akechi's subordinate Kokuninshu made a request, which is the result of relatively recent research and the "control by Hongan-ji Temple theory."
Japanese: 上記に加え、「本願寺黒幕説」や比較的近年の研究成果として「明智家臣団の国人衆による要請があったとする説」などもある。
English: Whether that is reliable or not, Nobunaga's various revolutionary policies may have been unacceptable to vassals of Mitsuhide.
Japanese: 信憑性はともかく、信長の革新的な様々な政策は、光秀の家臣団にも受け入れがたい点もあったと考えられる。
English: As seen in the governing of the Hokuriku region by Katsuie SHIBATA, one of Nobunaga's warriors, it can be imagined that changing the provinces all the time placed a heavy burden and great anxiety on those warriors.
Japanese: 信長の軍団・柴田勝家の北陸統治にみられるように、武士団にとって簡単に国替えを行うことは大きな負担と不安を与える事が考えられる。
English: Nobunaga, who had himself changed his province several times, moved them to new provinces to develop the province, which may not have been a difficult matter for Nobunaga, but more so for his vassals, and was a possible cause of friction.
Japanese: しかし、この国替えは信長自身も数度行っており、信長はそれらを解決するために家族そのものの移住等を行いその度にその国を発展させてきたが、信長にとっては大した事ではないが家臣にとっては難しい問題であったが故の摩擦となった可能性もある。
English: Although there are few documents about the Akechi clan, their vassals and their followers, oral traditions spread by word of mouth; since there is so little direct evidence in the form of documents, it is necessary to analyze the authenticity of which cannot be verified.
Japanese: 明智氏やその家臣、従者に関わる口伝などはいくつか伝わっており、資料の少ない考証については、従来日の目をみる事のなかった、こうした信憑性について確定できない資料の分析を行っていく必要がある。
English: With regard to the siege of Yagami-jo Castle that appears in the long-held-grudge theories, Mitsuhide's mother, who was held as a hostage, may have been an impostor (Mitsuhide's aunt).
Japanese: 長年の恨み説の中で登場する八上城攻囲に関して、人質とされている光秀の母親が偽者（叔母）であったとする説もある。
English: Though this idea has been picked up by several books, it has been transmitted orally that Mitsuhide's mother was held and protected in Tamba Midono, and if we believe this, this theory can be discounted as a major cause of Honno-ji no Hen, though Mitsuhide sacrificed his aunt as a hostage.
Japanese: この偽物説は、過去いくつかの書籍で取り上げられていたが、丹波味土野には、口伝として光秀の母堂を隠しその身を守ってきたとする伝承があり、これに信をおくとすれば、長年の恨み説の中で八上城に関する部分は人質である叔母の犠牲は伴うものの、本能寺の変の原因の主因としては考慮からはずしてもよいことになる。
English: These reasons are not convincing because these theories are mainly based on episodes from books written in the middle of the Edo Period or later (that is, speculation from later days -
Japanese: これらの理由が決定的でない理由として、怨恨説は元になったエピソードが主として江戸時代中期以降に書かれた書物が出典であること（すなわち、後世の憶測による後付である。
English: for example, the incident with Hideharu HATANO is now considered to have been a surrender due to internal strife, which does not require Mituhide's mother for a hostage), and academic rationality was put aside in favor of government policy starting in the Meiji Period, when Nobunaga ODA and Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI were honored as heroes (although there are some materials from, such as Luis Frois's writings).
Japanese: 例えば、波多野秀治の件は現在では城内の内紛による落城と考えられており、光秀の母を人質とする必要性は考えられないとされている）、織田信長・豊臣秀吉を英雄とした明治以来の政治動向に配慮し、学問的な論理展開を放棄してきたことが挙げられる（ただし、ルイス・フロイスの記述など、明らかに同時代の資料も存在しない訳ではない）。
English: Mitsuhide was not only promoted by Nobunaga to the extent that he would not seem like a masterless samurai, but also rescued by Nobunaga in the Ishiyama Hongan-ji war; when Mitsihide was surrounded by 15,000 soldiers; Nobunaga rescued him with about 3,000 soldiers, himself taking blows at the front line; Mitsuhide seems to have been favored by Nobunaga after this episode.
Japanese: 光秀は信長から浪人とは思えないほど取り立てられただけではなく、信長は石山合戦では1万5,000の兵に光秀が取り囲まれていたところを自ら前線に立ち傷を負いながらもわずか3,000ほどの兵で救出しており、この事からも光秀は信長からかなり眼をかけられていたようである。
English: At the time of Honno-ji no Hen, Mitsuhide had 300,000 or 500,000 koku around Nobunaga's base in Azuchi and Kyoto, which is, historically, incredibly large, except for when Hideyoshi gave his brother Hidenaga one million koku in Yamato next to Osaka.
Japanese: 本能寺の変当時、光秀の領地は信長の本拠安土と京都の周辺で30万石とも50万石とも言われており、史上権力者が本拠地周辺にこれだけの領土を与えた事例は秀吉が弟秀長に大阪の隣地である大和に100万石を与えたくらいしかない。
English: This placement shows that Nobunaga placed great trust in Mitsuhide (this ultimately backfired).
Japanese: この配置を見ても、信長が相当の信頼を置いていたことがうかがえる（結果として、これが裏目に出てしまった）。
English: In Akechi Kaho it says, "I was promoted by Mr. Nobunaga from a status like a stone and given too much benefit.
Japanese: また、『明智家法』には「自分は石ころ同然の身分から信長様にお引き立て頂き、過分の御恩を頂いた。
English: We vassals should not forget to serve Nobunaga even to our descendants."
Japanese: 一族家臣は子孫に至るまで信長様への御奉公を忘れてはならない」という文も残っている。
English: Some historians criticize Mitsuhide for this by saying "Mitsuhide is a fool who returned evil for good."
Japanese: このことを根拠に「光秀は恩を仇で返した愚か者」と酷評する歴史研究家も存在する。
English: In an excavation of Honno-ji Temple, trench marks and a lot of burned tiles which seemed to have existed at the same time as Honno-ji no Hen were found, which scholars pointed out signal a possibility that Honno-ji may have been reconstructed for use as a fortress.
Japanese: 2007年に行われた本能寺跡の発掘調査で本能寺の変と同時期にあったとされる堀跡や大量の焼け瓦が発見され、本能寺を城塞として改築した可能性が指摘された。
English: There are many opinions which say that Honno-ji no Hen was, somehow or other, too artless for Mitsuhide, who was honored as a intellectual warrior.
Japanese: 本能寺の変はいずれにしても、知将と謳われた光秀にしてはあまりに稚拙とする意見も多い。
English: It is demonstrative of this that when Mitsuhide instigated Honno-ji no Hen, Geni MAEDA and Nagamasu ODA (Urakusai) escaped from Kyoto.
Japanese: 光秀が変を起こした際、三法師（織田秀信）を保護しながら前田玄以や織田長益（有楽斎）らが京都から逃亡しているのも、それを証左している。
English: Based on an anecdote about Mitsuhide drawing lots three times before Honno-ji no Hen, some say that Mitsuhide had difficulty in deciding to do it.
Japanese: 光秀は変の前に三回くじを引いたという逸話もあり、決心がつきかねていたのではないかとする者もいる。
English: The words "Our enemy is at Honno-ji" were not spoken by Mitsuhide, but written years later by San'yo RAI.
Japanese: 「敵は本能寺にあり」と言ったのは光秀ではなく、後年、頼山陽が記した言葉である。
English: Tenkai was a priest who worked brilliantly on the military staff of Ieyasu TOKUGAWA early in the Edo Period, but his career is full of unknowns.
Japanese: 天海は江戸時代初期に徳川家康の幕僚として活躍した僧で、その経歴には不明な点が多い。
English: It is speculated that the "hide" in the name of Hidetada TOKUGAWA and "mitsu" in Iemitsu TOKUGAWA may have come from Mitsuhide, and likewise with "tsuna" of Ietsuna TOKUGAWA from Mitsuhide's father Mitsutsuna AKECHI, "tsugu" of Ietsugu TOKUGAWA from Mitsuhide's grandfather Mitsutsugu AKECHI.
Japanese: 徳川秀忠の秀と徳川家光の光は光秀、徳川家綱の綱は光秀の父の明智光綱、徳川家継の継は光秀の祖父の明智光継の名に由来してつけたのではないかという推測
English: There is a stone monument on Mt. Hiei that was donated in the name of Mitsuhide after 1582, when Mitsuhide was supposed to have died.
Japanese: 光秀が亡くなったはずの天正10年（1582年）以後に、比叡山に光秀の名で寄進された石碑が残っていること
English: Mitsuhide's grandchild Masazumi ODA (daughter's child) participated in the Siege of Osaka on the Toyotomi side, but was rescued after the Siege (it is unknown whether Tenkai involved in it or not).
Japanese: 光秀の孫（娘の子）にあたる織田昌澄が大坂の役で豊臣方として参戦したものの、戦後助命されていること（天海が関わったかは不明）
English: But many warriors such as Kiyomasa KATO wore Chinese bellflower crests, not confined to Mitsuhide's, and it is not unnatural that Tenkai wore armor at a time as a priest soldier.
Japanese: しかし、桔梗の紋は加藤清正など多くの武将が使用しており、光秀の紋とは限らないし、天海が一時期僧兵として鎧を着たことがあっても不自然ではない。
English: If Tenkai was Mitsuhide AKECHI, he would have died at age 116 (recorded as 108), which is difficult to believe judging from the average life span at that time.
Japanese: また、天海が明智光秀であるとすると、116歳（記録では108歳）で没したことになり、当時の平均寿命からみて無理が生じる。
English: However, handwriting verification done on a TV Tokyo program concluded that Tenkai was the same person or very close.
Japanese: ただテレビ東京が特別番組で行った筆跡鑑定では、「極めて本人か、それに近い人物」との結果が出ている。
English: In reference to the relation between the priest and Mitsuhide, Mitsuhide's only portrait hangs in Kaiun-ji/Hontoku-ji Temple (Kishiwada-shi), and on the backside of Mitsuhide's memorial tablet in this temple are carved the words, "at this temple a grave was made in Keicho 4."
Japanese: なお、僧と光秀の関係で言えば、光秀の子（とされる）・南国梵桂が建立した海雲寺→本徳寺（岸和田市）には光秀の唯一の肖像画が残されているが、この寺にある光秀の位牌の裏には「当寺開基慶長四巳亥」と刻まれている。
English: The relation between these words and the memorial tablet is not known at present (some say it means Mitsuhide was alive until Keicho era).
Japanese: この文言と位牌の関係については現時点では不明である（文言から「光秀は慶長年間まで生きていた」と主張する者もいる）。
English: According to "Akechi Keizu," the Akechi clan is a branch clan of the Toki clan, which is in the line of first-class Settsu Genji of Seiwa Genji.
Japanese: 明智氏は『明智系図』によれば、清和源氏の一流摂津源氏の流れを汲む土岐氏の支流氏族。
English: MINAMOTO no Yorimitsu - MINAMOTO no Yorikuni - MINAMOTO no Kunifusa - (6th omitted) - Yorisada TOKI - Yorimoto TOKI - Yorishige AKECHI - (7th omitted) - Mitsutsugu AKECHI - Mitsutaka AKECHI - Mitsuhide AKECHI
Japanese: 源頼光－源頼国－源国房－（6代略）－土岐頼貞－土岐頼基－明智頼重－（7代略）－明智光継－明智光隆－明智光秀
English: After Mitsutsuna's death, Mitsuyasu led the Akechis, and some say he participated in the battle between Yoshiryu and Dosan on the side of Dosan and died; others say he was adopted by the Akechi Toyama clan and changed his name to Kageyuki TOYAMA.
Japanese: 光綱の死後は明智家を率い、義龍と道三の争いに道三に与して殉したとも、明知遠山氏の養子となり遠山景行と改名したともいわれる。
English: Mitsutada AKECHI - Mitsuhide's uncle, son of either Mitsuhisa AKECHI or Mitsuyasu
Japanese: 明智光忠-光秀の叔父・明智光久又は光安の子といわれるが定かではない。
English: Tadaoki's successor and lord of the Kumamoto Domain Tadatoshi HOSOKAWA was the 3rd son of Garacha, but the blood relation was broken until Morihiro HOSOKAWA because of adoption.
Japanese: 忠興後継者の熊本藩主細川忠利はガラシャの三男だが、養子により細川護煕に至るまでに血は途切れている。
English: The crest of Ryoma SAKAMOTO's family has bellflowers at the intersections, but since the crest when the family name was Ohama, before it became SAKAMOTO, had a 田 character with a circle, there is no relation to the Akechi clan.
Japanese: なお、坂本龍馬の坂本家の家紋は組み合わせ角に桔梗だが、坂本姓以前の大浜姓の頃の紋は丸に田の字なので明智氏との関係はない。

English: His children were Kataharu MATSUDAIRA (eldest son), Takeo MATSUDAIRA (2nd son), Hideo MATSUDAIRA (5th son), Tsuneo MATSUDAIRA (6th son), and Morio MATSUDAIRA (7th son).
Japanese: 子は松平容大（長男）、松平健雄（次男）、松平英夫（五男）、松平恒雄（六男）、松平保男（七男）。
English: In 1846 he was adopted by the 8th Chief of Aizu Clan, Katataka, whom he succeeded in 1852.
Japanese: 弘化3年（1846年）に8代藩主・容敬の養子となり、嘉永5年（1852年）に会津藩を継ぐ。
English: In 1860, he opposed the punishment of the Mito Clan, whose Ronin had killed Tairo Naosuke II in the Incident Outside the Sakurada Gate.
Japanese: 万延元年（1860年）に大老・井伊直弼が水戸藩浪士に殺害された桜田門外の変では、水戸藩討伐に反対する。
English: After the assassination of II, Yoshinobu HITOTSUBASHI (Yoshinobu TOKUGAWA), who had become the Shogun's successor with the support of the Imperial Court and the Satsuma Clan, started the Bunkyu Reformation along with Yoshinaga MATSUDAIRA, the head of the Fukui Clan who had become Seiji Sosaishoku; and in 1862 Katamori was appointed to the new post of Bakusei Sanyo, and later to the newly created post of Kyoto Shugoshoku.
Japanese: 井伊暗殺後に朝廷や薩摩藩の後援で将軍後継となった一橋慶喜（徳川慶喜）、政事総裁職となった福井藩主・松平慶永らが文久の改革を開始すると、文久2年（1862年）に新設の幕政参与に任ぜられ、のち新設の京都守護職に推される。
English: Katamori, who had a weak constitution and was sick in bed with a cold around that time, at first firmly refused the appointment by objections from Tanomo SAIGO and other vassals, but finally accepted on the urging of Yoshinaga and others.
Japanese: 元々病弱な体質でこの当時も風邪をひき病臥していた容保は、はじめ家臣の西郷頼母らの反対により固辞するも、慶永らの強い勧めによりこの大役を引き受けることとなる。
English: When Katamori started as Kyoto Shugoshoku the first thing he did was lead Aizu Clan soldiers into Kyoto for an audience with Emperor Komei, and negotiate with the Imperial Court; at first he planned to keep the peace with a policy of opening up talks, even with anti-shogunate agitators.
Japanese: 京都守護職に就任した容保はさっそく会津藩兵を率いて京都へ上洛し、孝明天皇に拝謁して朝廷との交渉を行い、最初は倒幕派の者とも話し合っていく「言路洞開」の方針で治世をすすめた。
English: In response to that Katamori turned his policy around 180 degrees, used his followers in the Miburoshi-gumi (later the Shinsen-gumi) to maintain the peace in the city and guard the 14th Shogun, Iemochi TOKUGAWA.
Japanese: これが起因で容保は政策を180度転換して配下の壬生浪士組（後の新選組）などを使い上洛した14代将軍・徳川家茂の警護や京都市内の治安維持にあたる。
