Postscript from Kristina's letter to Manuel Texeira, dated February 10, 1674

Source:

Mémoires concernant Christine, reine de Suède, volume 3, page 429, compiled and edited by Johan Arckenholtz, 1759


The postscript:

Plût à Dieu que la politesse Françoise du Roi d'Angleterre ne lui attire pas le destin de son Pére.

Swedish translation (my own):

Önskar till Gud att konungen av Englands franska artighet inte förde honom hans fars öde.

English translation (my own):

Would to God that the French politeness of the King of England did not bring him the fate of his father.


Above: Kristina.


Above: King Charles II of England.
