The report:

Rom den 2 Martij. Hennes M. Drotning Christina hafwer warit illa siuk / men är nu aldeles frisk igen. ...

With modernised spelling:

Rom, den 2 martii. Hennes Majestät drottning Kristina haver varit illa sjuk, men är nu alldeles frisk igen. ...

French translation (my own):

Rome, le 2 mars. Sa Majesté la reine Christine a été très malade, mais elle est maintenant en parfaite santé. ...

English translation (my own):

Rome, March 2. Her Majesty Queen Kristina has been very ill, but is now completely healthy again. ...


Above: Kristina.
