  Battle of Norada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battle of Norada was a battle between forces under Azai Nagamasa and Rokkaku Yoshikata on 1560.
Azai Nagamasa used to be a retainer under the Rokkaku clan, and seeked an independence from the Rokkaku while Rokkaku Yoshitaka seeked to clash the Azai clan to consolidate his power.
By winning the battle, Azai Nagamasa and his clan won the independence as well as a recognition that they were a force to be reckoned becoming a daimyo and a warlord.

 Classic Boat: Mariquita and the big four
Norada was, potentially, a difficult yacht to beat, a latent ability at first denied by the inexperience of her captain and crew, only one of whom had previously been a hand in a racing yacht.
Norada was the last of the quartet to be ordered and she was not ready for hull planking to start until the 11 March 1911 and could not be launched until mid May. But her completion was rushed forward for the end of the month, to join the racing fleet as soon as possible.
With Norada still lagging for lack of proper sailing Charles Nicholson, deeply conscious of the yacht’s potential and unable to be present to sail her too far from Gosport, advised Frederick Milburn to appoint Captain Alfred Diaper from Itchen to sail her and bring with him an experienced crew in to replace those on board.

 Azai Hisamasa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Losing domains against Rokkaku clan, he instead became a Rokkaku retainer.
Hisamasa's retainers had enough with Hisamasa and after his son Azai Nagamasa won the Battle of Norada against at least double the number of troop commanded by Rokkaku Yoshikata to win back independence, they forced Hisamasa into a retirement.
Yet, this retirement was not a complete and Hisamasa managed to hold some sway of the clan.

He quickly proved himself a capable leader despite his young age and recaptured Fùto Castle in 1561 and soundly defeated a Rokkaku army at the Battle of Norada.

These troops were equipped with a somewhat higher number of rifles then one might find in a clan of the Asai's means since, during the 1560's, they and the Asakura collaborated on a gun-making workshop at Kunimoto (Ômi).

He went about his work with his customary care and thoroughness, for long practice had made it possible for him to go on as though nothing had happened, to listen to querulous complaints and long lists of symptoms, and to write without error those scrawled prescriptions which were, so hopefully, to cure.
Not that Dick himself believed greatly in those empirical doses, but he considered that the expectation of relief was half the battle.
But that was the mind of him, which went about clothed in flesh, of course, and did its daily and nightly work, and put up a very fair imitation of Doctor Richard Livingstone.
