Crowned as a child and trained like a prince, Queen Christina of Sweden defied every expectation placed upon her. From her glittering court of scholars to a shocking abdication, a secret conversion, and a dramatic reinvention in Rome, Christina’s life was anything but conventional. This episode explores the story of a queen who refused to be defined—by her crown, her country, or her time. -- Tuesday and Thursday episodes are available in video on #spotify and #youtube -- SUPPORT THE SHOW! -- Narrated by: Rebecca Larson Researched by: Emily Airey
