The biography:
Finding her consequence therefore begin to decline in France, Christina left it; and, after having made several journies into Germany, and even into Sweden, to solicit the payment of her pension, and quiet her restless spirit, she died at Rome, on the sixteenth day of April [sic], in the year 1689, having proved the truth of the prediction of the great chancellor Oxenstiern, who, on his death-bed, enquired after Christina, and being informed she was fallen into neglect, expired in saying, "I told her she would repent of what she had done: --- but --- she is still the daughter of the great Gustavus."
Above: Kristina.
