Queen of Caprice by Paul Lewis HC DJ bio Kristina of Sweden  This is the story of the brilliant "King Kristina," who ruled Sweden for ten years in the17th century before abdicating.  During her reign, she brought peace to Sweden and revolutionized the educational system by opening it up to girls.  She never married, and throughout her life scandalized society in one way or another.  Her own epitaph was "I was born, lived and died, free."
