Кристина Датская: принцессу продали в 13 лет, но она переиграла королей Европы

Christina of Denmark was born a princess, but spent almost her entire life as a piece on the European political chessboard. At the age of two, she lost her kingdom, lost her parents as a child, and at thirteen, was married to a much older ruler of Milan in the interests of powerful dynasties. However, Christina's story is not one of victimhood. She managed to survive court intrigues, two widowhoods, the struggles of the great powers, and even a marriage proposal from Henry VIII, a king feared by many European princesses. Over time, she became an influential politician and regent of Lorraine, trying to protect her country and the future of her son. This video tells the story of a woman who was used as a diplomatic tool her entire life, but who managed to transform herself from a bargaining chip into an independent player in 16th-century European politics.
