She rode through Flaminia Gate (now People's Gate) and entered Rome on February 23rd, 65438. Benigni added Cristina's coat of arms under the coat of arms of Pope Leishan on the door, and inscribed "Felici Faustoq Ingress Huianno Domdclv". A few days later, Christina met Benigni and became friends from then on. Christina often goes to Benigni's studio; Benigni asked Christina to pray for her before she died, because she used a language that God understood.
On Christmas Day, Christina knelt at the altar of St Peter's Cathedral and received the sacrament of religious independence. Therefore, Christina was named "Christina Alexandra"-Alexandra is not only to commemorate Pope VII, but also to commemorate Alexander the Great whom she admired. Because she was the most famous Catholic convert and the most famous woman at that time, she was exempted from curtseying to the Catholic faith. She said that her beliefs are different from those of ordinary people; In fact, before forwarding this letter, she asked the priest many times how she wanted her to observe church etiquette. She once told her subordinates that although she respected the Pope's position in the church, she did not necessarily agree with the Pope's personal behavior. She once said that the mountain in Pope Quillinaire's palace should not be called "Monte Cavallo", but "Monte Degree assisi", because all the popes she met in Rome in the past 30 years had no common sense. The Pope was glad that Christina was in Rome, during the Baroque celebrations. For months, she was the Pope's only guest of honor. In order to attract her attention, the nobles held many fireworks, acrobatics, operas, fighting performances and competitions with spears at once. She was welcomed by 6,000 people at Blandini Palace in aldo, and watched the performance of camels and elephants carrying towers in oriental costumes.
She settled in Farnese Palace of the Duke of Parma, opposite St. Bizeta's Church, in memory of another Swedish woman who settled in Rome. Christina founded Accademia dell'Arcadia, 1656+65438 in Farnese Palace on June 24th, which is open to upper-class people to enjoy music, drama, literature and language every Wednesday. Participants in Arcadia included Francesco Negri, the first person who trekked across Scandinavia to the northern corner of Norway, and Lars Skytte, Christina's confessor. Among them, Shute is also a student of Johannes Mattia. He was originally a Swedish diplomat in Portugal, but after learning that Christina had left, he asked to be transferred to Rome. She herself was attracted by the Spanish priest Miguel Mori, who was persecuted by the heretical inquisition for preaching mysticism influenced by DeDeland. Christina's good friend Benigni once made a sculpture "Saint Dylan" with the theme of "Big Dylan", which is now in the church of Santa Maria Victoria in Rome.
Sweden didn't live up to its promise to pay the living expenses, so Christina had to rely on other people's loans and donations to live. Her entourage burned the door to keep warm, and the Santinili brothers sold the palace art; It's all because Christina didn't pay their wages.
29-year-old Christina's association with men of the same age has attracted criticism from gossip. One of her contacts is Cardinal Decio Zollino. Zollino is the secretary of the Spanish ambassador and is responsible for the contact between the Holy See and the European Court of Justice. He is also the leader of the "Flying Squad" of the Catholic Free Thought Movement. Zollino and Christina are close friends, and even have been asked by the Pope to reduce the time of visiting her, but they are lifelong friends. Christina wrote to Zollino in French, saying that she didn't mean to offend God and didn't want him to offend God, but "this can't stop me from loving you until I die; If piety prevents you from becoming my lover, then I will also exempt you from becoming my servant, because I am your maid of life and death. " Zollino's reply is much more conservative. Christina wrote many letters to him when she traveled around the world, and there are 50 existing ones. The letter was written in code, but it was deciphered by the Swedish-Norwegian ambassador to Rome, Baron Carl Bildt, around 1900. Nothing is going well between them. Once, they met at the Medici Villa next to Qiu Ping, but Zollino didn't show up, which made Christina rush to the Saint Angel Castle and fired a shot. Bronze doors in front of the Medici Villa still has traces of cannons.
Because she spent all her money and was tired of parties, Christina decided to travel abroad to France for two years. Louis XIV entertained her, but her strong appearance and free speech shocked the local women. After the ballet received her, the French "big lady" said, "She surprised me: she applauded her favorite part, lay down on the chair, crossed her legs on the chair and made other moves; I have never seen these movements except the famous clowns Travelin and Jodelet ... She is a super eccentric guy in every way. " At that time, Milan, Sicily and Naples were all under Spanish rule. Italian-born French Prime Minister Madzar Ilan tried to break Naples from Spanish rule, but 1654' s expedition failed. The locals would rather have a French prince than an Italian duke on the throne. Therefore, Madzar Ilan intends to make Christina Queen of Naples. /kloc-in the summer of 0/656, Christina took a boat to Marseille and then went to Paris to discuss the matter. She made it clear that she would negotiate with the king of Sweden about the living expenses.
On September 22nd, she made arrangements with Louis XIV. Louis XIV will elect Christina Queen of Naples to resist Spanish aggression. The next day she went to pesaro to wait for the result; After becoming queen of Naples, she no longer needed to depend on the Swedish king economically, and she was able to mediate between France and Spain.
However, Madzar -e-Ran has other plans. In order to maintain peace, he promoted the marriage of Louis XIV and his cousin Maria Teresa, and the wedding was later held in 1660. However, Christina knew nothing about this matter, and even sent people to remind Mazaran to abide by the agreement many times. /kloc-in the summer of 0/657, she returned to France and visited the papal city of avignon. In June+10, 5438, she stayed in Fontainebleau's room, where she did something she would never forget ── killing her knight commander Jean-rinaldo Monadesi. She told the story to Europe as follows:
For two months, she had been suspicious of the monarchy, and it was not until she caught the person who contacted him that she determined that he had betrayed her interests and framed a fictional court member. That night, she called Monadsey to the balcony of the palace to discuss the matter with him. The monarch insisted that the informant should die as an apology. Christina has evidence of Mona Desch's informer, and says that she has sentenced herself to death. The monarchy begged for forgiveness, but was stabbed by the brothers in Santigny. He wore a chain mail and hid in the room next to Christina for several hours, but was finally stabbed to death by Francisco Santinili. Father Lebel, who repented on the balcony at that time, knelt down and begged them to let the man go, but they only told him to bury him in the church. Calm Christina paid a sum of money to hold a mass for his soul in the monastery. Father Lebel described: "She felt sorry that she was forced to take such action, but claimed that his crime and betrayal had been fairly tried."
Afterwards, Mazar -e-Ran suggested that Christina put all the blame on Santigny and fired him, but she insisted that she should take full responsibility for it. She wrote to Louis XIV to explain the matter, and when she visited him at Fontainebleau Palace two weeks later, she didn't mention anything about it. However, the Romans felt completely different. They thought Santinili was the executioner, who committed crimes for foreign barbarians and killed Italian nobles. His criminal evidence is missing; Christina left the evidence in Lebel on the day of his death, and he also confirmed the existence of this letter. She never made the contents of this letter public.
Gottfried leibniz, who defended Christina, pointed out that she had the right to judge her imperial secretary, so it was legal to execute Monadesi. At that time, people thought that Christina, as a queen, had to distinguish right from wrong and had a strong sense of responsibility. She had been a queen all her life. After her good friend Angela Maddalena Voglia was sent to the monastery by the Pope to prevent her from having an affair with one of the cardinals, she managed to escape from the monastery. But when she was hiding in Christina's house, she was attacked and raped by monks. Christina was angry at what happened in her home and asked the monk to be executed, but he escaped. She wanted to go to England, but oliver cromwell (British dictator) didn't encourage her to go. She returned to Rome and remained fascinated by art and technology. 1May, 656 15, Christina came to Rome again, but this time she was not warmly welcomed, because her reputation had been seriously damaged by the murder of Monadesi. Lishan VII, who lives in the Summer Palace, made it clear that he would never see this woman called Man Zi again. She lives in Rospigliosi Palace in Mazar-e-Ran, near Quillinaire Palace. Therefore, the Pope breathed a sigh of relief after she moved to Riario Palace in Tra Stuj in 1659. It was Cardinal Zollino who arranged her new residence, and he signed a new entourage to replace Francisco Santigny, who killed Monadesi and stole Christina's property many times.
Since then, she has lived in Riario Palace all her life. She hung many paintings on the wall, most of which were Renaissance works. There are also portraits of her close friends in the room, including Zollino, Benigni, Abba Spa, Descartes, Ambassador Nisha and Dr. Budlow. She and the Pope finally reconciled under the mediation of Zollino, and the Pope also gave her living expenses. 1660 In April, Christina learned that Karl X had died in February, and his only son, Karl XI, was only five years old. In the summer of the same year, she returned to Sweden and pointed out that she passed the throne to her cousin and his descendants. Therefore, Jokad Xi is dead, and she will regain the throne. But because she is a Catholic, she can't do this, and the clergy forbid her to hold Catholic mass at her residence. After staying in Stockholm for several weeks, she found an apartment in Beixueping. She finally gave up the throne for the second time and stayed in Hamburg for a year to raise Pan Chuan for her back in Rome. She gave her income to Diego Texeira (real name Abraham), a Jewish banker, in exchange for his monthly allowance and repayment of her debts in Antwerp. Although communication with Jews was not common at that time, she not only visited teixeira's home, but also entertained them in her apartment.
/kloc-in the summer of 0/662, she came to Rome for the third time and lived happily for several years. 1667, because of disagreement with the Pope, she set off for Sweden again. However, her residence has been occupied, which makes her stay in Hamburg and stop going north. She learned locally that Lishan VII had passed away, and his successor Kemian IX was a frequent visitor to her palace. To celebrate her election, Christina held a grand banquet in her apartment, and the outdoor fountain with fine wine was covered with lights. However, she forgot that she was in Protestant land; She was threatened by local residents with stones and torches, and had to escape through a hidden door. The party broke up in discord. Teixeira's family must contribute to the maintenance of the apartment. 1668165438+1October 22nd, Christina entered Rome for the fourth and last time. Like 13 years ago, she rode into town from the people's gate during the welcome. Protestants Zong Kemian IX often visited her because they all like drama. Christina founded the first public theater "Tor di Nona" in Rome on the former site of the prison, which is now owned by monks. When the Pope died of a stroke at the end of 1669, only a few people were summoned, and Christina was one of them. On February 9, 65438, Kemian IX died of illness, and the newly elected Kemian X was worried that the theater would corrupt customs. When Northam Xi was in power, the situation was even worse: although he and other cardinals were frequent visitors to Christina's box, he ordered the "Thor de Nona" to be converted into a barn, and women were also forbidden to perform, sing and wear low-cut clothes. Christina thinks these behaviors are completely ridiculous and continues to let women perform in her palace.
There is a laboratory on the ground floor, where she and Zollino used to do alchemy experiments. She wrote some works, including an autobiography and some articles about Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar whom she admired, and kept in touch with the people she knew when she traveled in Europe. She sponsored some musicians, such as Arcangelo corelli and Alessandro Scarlatti, and corelli dedicated her first work, 12 Triple Church Sonata, to Christina.
