Abraham Brahe's diary entry on Kristina's birth on December 7 and her/his/their baptism on December 17, 1626

Abraham Brahes Tidebok, page 163, published by Count Carl Magnus Stenbock, P. A. Norstedt & Söner, 1920

The diary entry:

7 Decembris. En fiärdings Timme [efter] 8 [för] effter middagen foddes konnungens dotter frochen Cristina på Stocholms Slått och den 17 hon Cristnett i Slottskyrcken.

With modernised spelling:

7 decembris. En fjärdings timme efter 8 för eftermiddagen föddes Konungens dotter fröken Kristina på Stockholms Slott, och den 17 hon kristnats i Slottskyrkan.

English translation (my own):

December 7. A fourth of an hour after 8 in the afternoon, the King's daughter, Lady Kristina, was born at Stockholm Castle, and on the 17th she was christened in the castle chapel.
