Based on the description about deification of Nobunaga in 'Historia de Iapan' by Frois, there is a view which points out that deification of Nobunaga could not be accepted by the Imperial Court. (Motohiko IZAWA is the recent advocator of this view.)
また、フロイス「日本史」における信長神格化の記述をもとに、信長神格化が朝廷と相容れなかったとする指摘もある（この点の最近の指摘者として井沢元彦）。
