DEZZY'S HISTORY LESSON  
Crowned queen at 16 and known for being intense, moody and intellectual, she is remembered for helping bring an end to the 30 Years War and for policies that helped make Stockholm a centre of learning

and major European capital. She is also remembered for her unconventional life that makes her feel very, very modern to subsequent generation. Androgynous and uncompromising, her love affairs with

women were well documented, and she resisted dressing or behaving as women were expected in her time, never marrying or having children. She caused a scandal when she abdicated her throne and converted to Roman Catholicism! She spent her later years in Rome, becoming a 

leader of the theatrical and musical life there. As a queen without a country, she protected many artists and projects. She chose her cousin Charles as her heir and organized an extremely lavish coronation for him!
