By F.W. Bain and Francis William Bain

Book Overview

""Christina, Queen of Sweden"" is a historical biography written by Francis William Bain and published in 1890. The book tells the story of Christina, who was born in 1626 and became queen of Sweden at the age of six after her father's death. Christina was known for her intelligence, love of learning, and unconventional behavior, which included dressing in men's clothing and refusing to marry. The book explores her life and reign, including her decision to abdicate the throne and convert to Catholicism, which caused controversy in Protestant Sweden. Bain's biography draws on historical sources and provides a detailed account of Christina's life, including her relationships with important figures of her time, such as Ren����� Descartes. The book offers readers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who challenged the norms of her society and left a lasting impact on Swedish history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
