Notes
"Most of Christina's spare time was spent with 'la belle comtesse', and she often called attention to her beauty. She introduced her to the English ambassador Bulstrode Whitelocke as her 'bed-fellow', assuring him that Sparre's intellect was as striking as her body. When Christina left Sweden she continued to write passionate love-letters to Sparre, in which she told her that she would always love her...Sparre was the only female favourite of Christina, and they kept in touch after Christina left Sweden....In 1661, Christina invited Sparre to visit her in Hamburg, and she also wished to see her during her visit to Sweden, but this was prevented by Sparre's family." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebba_Sparre
For The Girl King and her Belle, I love you. x
