		Christina (1626-1689) or Kristina, later known as Maria Christina Alexandra and sometime Count Dohna, was Queen of Sweden from 1632 to 1654, was the daughter of King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden.
		While the grave was open, a team of scientists examined her bones in an attempt to determine if she was intersexual, but they were not able to come to a clear conclusion.
		She was a woman of quite distraught temperament, and her attempts to bestow guilt on Christina for her difficult birth, or just the horror story itself, may have prejudiced Christina against the prospect of having to produce a heir to the throne.

		Christina was the daughter of the beloved King Gustavus II Adolphus of Sweden and Maria Eleonora, daughter of the elector of Brandenburg.
		Maria Eleonora seems to have been too warped by grief to be able to nurture her child properly; in addition, the queen mother kept so-called dwarves and buffoons at court, characters that frightened Christina, who was also misshapen.
		Oxenstierna and other advisers to the late king removed Maria Eleonora to Uppsala, fearing that her mental instability and prolonged, ostentatious grief would prove harmful to her daughter.
