... Lagði Kristín drottning af Svíþjóðar stjórn við eðlamann einn af konungakyni, er Karl hét, og alla konglega tign, en skildi sér aptur árlega hálfa þriðju tunnu gulls (250,000 dali). Fór hún úr Svíþjóð til Vallands á páfafund og afsór Lutheri kenningu, en tók páfadóm, gerðist þar nunna. ...

With modernised spelling:

... Lagði Kristín drottning af Svíþjóðar stjórn við eðlamann einn af konungakyni, er Karl hét, og alla konglega tign, en skildi sér aftur árlega hálfa þriðju tunnu gulls (250,000 dali). Fór hún úr Svíþjóð til Vallands á páfafund og afsór Lútheri kenningu, en tók páfadóm, gerðist þar nunna. ...

French translation (my own):

... La reine Christine de Suède laissa le pouvoir à un noble de la famille royale, nommé Charles, ainsi que toute la dignité royale, mais en échange, elle se laissa un demi-tiers de baril d'or annuel (250 000 dalers). Elle quitta la Suède pour l'Italie afin de rencontrer le pape et renonça à la doctrine luthérienne, mais accepta la doctrine papiste, devenant religieuse. ...

Swedish translation (my own):

... Drottning Kristina av Sverige lämnade styret över Sverige till en adelsman av konungafamiljen, vid namn Karl, och all kunglig värdighet, men i gengäld lämnade hon sig själv en årlig halv tredjedels tunna guld (250,000 daler). Hon reste från Sverige till Italien för ett möte med påven och avsägde sig den lutherska läran, men accepterade den påvliga och blev nunna där.

English translation (my own):

... Queen Kristina of Sweden left the rule of Sweden to a nobleman of the royal family, named Karl, and all royal dignity, but in return she left herself an annual half-third barrel of gold (250,000 dalers). She went from Sweden to Italy for a meeting with the Pope and renounced the Lutheran doctrine, but accepted the Popish one, becoming a nun there. ...

Notes: Kristina never became a nun.

It is so interesting and unexpected to see Kristina mentioned in a contemporary source from Iceland, of all places, but it is also exciting since Iceland is a very special place to me, one of my greatest passions next to my research on Kristina; and I have wanted to see if I could find any Icelandic sources, contemporary or by posterity, that talk about or at least mention her.
