Кристина Датская: Принцесса, которая отказала самому опасному королю Англии

November 1521. A girl, Christina, is born into the family of the deposed Danish king. She will be widowed twice, exiled twice, rule an entire duchy, refuse Henry VIII, and live for nearly seven decades in an era when only obedience was expected of women. This video tells the complete biography of Christina of Denmark: her childhood in exile at the court of Margaret of Austria, her marriage to the dying Duke of Milan at age 12, three hours of posing for Hans Holbein the Younger, her regency in Lorraine, the French occupation, the struggle for her son's rights, her claim to the Danish crown, and twelve years of sovereign rule in Tortona, Italy—where she died in 1590, outliving almost everyone. #ChristinaDanish #HistoryOfEurope #MiddleAges #16thCentury #HenryVIII #Holbein #Lorraine #DuchyOfMilan #Tudors #Habsburgs #HistoryOfWomen #Biography #NetherlandsHistory #DanishHistory #RegencyOfWomen #BloodyCouncil
