Queen of Sweden
Christina of Sweden
Abdicated at twenty-eight, converted to Catholicism, moved to Rome and refused to marry anybody. She summoned Descartes to Stockholm and effectively killed him with early lessons.
Christina, a member of the House of Vasa, was Queen of Sweden from 1632 until her abdication in 1654. Her conversion to Catholicism and refusal to marry led her to relinquish her throne and move to Rome.
