Christina of Denmark, Duchess of Milan and Lorraine, 1522-1590
Julia Cartwright, a British historian of the Italian Renaissance, published this biography of Christina of Denmark in 1913. Christina was the daughter of the deposed King Christian II of Denmark and niece of the Emperor Charles V. Married as a girl to the Duke of Milan and widowed at thirteen, she was painted by Holbein when Henry VIII considered her as a wife, then married the heir to Lorraine and later governed that duchy as regent for her son. Cartwright follows her from her parents' exile through the courts of Milan, Brussels and Lorraine and the diplomacy of the peace of Cateau-Cambrésis, drawing on letters and archives to portray a shrewd and admired princess.
