| Summary | "Christina of Denmark, Duchess of Milan and Lorraine, 1522-1590" by Julia Cartwright is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This biography delves into the life of Christina of Denmark, exploring her royal lineage, significant marriages, and the political intrigues that shaped her destiny. The narrative captures the trials and achievements of a woman striving for agency amidst the tumultuous backdrop of European politics. The beginning of the book introduces Christina’s origins and early challenges, including her royal connections, notably through the marriages that she formed with prominent figures like Francesco Sforza and Francis, Duke of Lorraine. It highlights the romantic yet politically fraught courtship with Henry VIII, alongside the losses and hardships she faced, including the death of her first husband and the upheaval in her family that led to her exile. The opening sets the tone for an exploration of Christina's resilience as she navigated a tumultuous life defined by both beautiful opportunities and significant adversity.
