Christina of Sweden

Christina (Swedish: Kristina Augusta; 18 December [O.S.

8 December] 1626 – 19 April 1689), later known as Christina Alexandra and sometimes Countess Dohna, is Queen regnant of Sweden from 1632 to 1654.

She is the only surviving legitimate child of King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden and his wife Maria Eleonora of Brandenburg.

As the heiress presumptive, at the age of six she succeeds her father on the throne of Sweden upon his death at the Battle of Lützen in the Thirty Years' War.

After converting to Catholicism and abdicating her throne, she spends her latter years in France and Rome, where she is buried in St. Peter's Basilica.
