Gracia (or Donna Gracia) was the 3rd daughter of [[Akechi Mitsuhide]] and was married to [[Hosokawa Tadaoki]]. When her father killed [[Oda Nobunaga]], Gracia was for a time confined and was only taken back by her husband thanks to the intervention of [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi|Hashiba (Toyotomi) Hideyoshi]]. According to tradition, Gracia was introduced to Christianity by [[Takayama Ukon]], and pursued it while Tadaoki was away fighting in Korea (1592-93, 1597-98), eventually being baptized. In 1600 she was left in [[Osaka castle]] by her husband as one of a number of wives to act as hostages by notable [[Tokugawa clan|Tokugawa]] loyalists. Soon afterwards, [[Ishida Mitsunari]] attempted to seize the women to influence their husbands, and in the attempt Gracia was killed - either on her orders or those of her husband.
