Happy bi week! Christina, 17th century monarch of Sweden, had a relationship with a lady-in-waiting, abdicated the throne, and left the country to pursue a life of arts and scholarship in Rome, where they wrote coded love letters to a cardinal.

‘‘How happy I should be if only I could see you, Beautiful One. But I am condemned by Destiny to love and cherish you always without seeing you; and […] I cannot be completely happy when I am separated from you. Never doubt this fact, and believe that, wherever I may be, I shall always be entirely devoted to you, as I always have been. […] Good-bye, Beautiful One, good-bye. I embrace you a million times.’’
(Queen Christina of Sweden to Ebba Sparre, 1656)

Got an updated version of this piece printed for ANOTHER queer school zine!!
Added Rudolf II to the collection and changed up Chevalier D'Eon's flag.
I loved seeing all these fruity royals come to life as far as dead people go

Who Was Christina of Sweden? Queen, Arts Patron, & Political Conniver
A controversial figure in her time who rejected norms and etiquette, Christina, Queen of Sweden, had a fascinating life full of political twists and turns.

Look at that! My second article for TheCollector is out now! I’m super happy about this one. I learned a ton of new things about Queen Christina of Sweden, her rather scandalous (for the time) life, and her affinity for art! I hope you’ll enjoy this as much as I do :)
Also, if anyone wants to be added to the tag list, just say so! :D
