CHRISTINA
1626 - 1689

Christina, or as the Swedes spell it Kristina, was the daughter of Gustav II Adolf.

When Gustav was killed in the Battle of Lützen in 1632, Christina was next in line. She became queen of Sweden in 1644 and abdicated in 1654.

Christina loved the arts and more than anything, she loved Rome.
