Listen to the story dedicated to Christine of Sweden, queen of the 17th century and one of the strangest royal figures in history.
Instead of the prince promised to her by the astrologers, Queen Marie Eleonore gave birth in 1626 to a repulsive-looking little girl.
King Gustav II Adolf, seeing his wife's disgust for their child, asks that the little girl be entrusted to the Regency Council and brought up as a boy... What kind of monarch will Christine of Sweden become with such an atypical education?
In this first part of the episode produced by Europe 1 Studio, Clémentine Portier-Kaltenbach recounts the childhood of this sovereign with an ambiguous personality.
