Hello Great Minds!
In our first move to Tuesdays, we examine one of the most entertaining Great Minds of Swedish History, Christina, the "Girl King" of Sweden.
Christina has been called the Minerva of the North, a Barbarian, a Lioness, a Lesbian, even a hermaphrodite, a “Queen without a Realm,” a “Christian without a faith,” a “Woman without Shame… those last three were by a Pope, and by her father she was called “Girl King.”
It is left to you to decide which are most true...
Key Topics: Thirty Years' War, Counter-Reformation, Religious War, The Papacy, Gustavus Adolphus, Queen Kristina
Cheers!
