Amago Katsuhisa

Amago Katsuhisa (尼子 勝久) was a member of the Amago Family living from 1553-1578.

Katsuhisa made attempts during his life to revive the families power with the aide of Yamanaka Shikanosuke as a vassal of Oda Nobunaga. There was a brief success militarily, however, Katsuhisa would later commit suicide after coming under seige by the Mōri in 1578¹ at Kōzuki Castle in Harima Province.²
