In this episode of Sistory, we begin to explore the life and times of King Kristina of Sweden, perhaps best known for contradicting every expectation imposed upon her from her literal birth, A queer (and possibly trans!) icon, Kristina talked loudly, swore notably, and became known as a great thinker of her time before her twenty-fifth birthday, all while driving her advisors up the wall. If that sounds boring, there's also discussions of the true nature of sleepovers, borderline necrophilia, and church graverobbing! (There's less overlap than one might expect.)
