Queen Christina Image
Christina (1626-1689) Swedish queen (1632-1654). "Her reign was notable for the patronage of learning and science; but the Queen was too eccentric and cared too little for politics to give that force to the administration which the position of Sweden in Europe at that time, and its own lively internal politics, required" (The New International Encyclopaedia, Vol. V, New York: Dodd, Mead & Co., 1920, 288-289.
