But it is also and always has been a place that queens and kings princesses and princes through the ages have called home. Princess Christina has loved Drottningholm for a very long time. She has spent Christmas there every year since her childhood and has often been a guest on official and unofficial occasions. Its history settings and personalities especially the strong women who have made their mark there have always fascinated her. In this lavishly illustrated volume she uses individual dates in history as her starting point for bringing royal figures rooms details and memories to life. She writes of the young widow Hedvig Eleonora who initiated the grand construction project of dance performances in the historic theatre of her grandfather Gustaf VI Adolf's plans for the gardens and some unusual Christmas fare of playing in the snow with her brother and sisters in the palace park whispering games in the Chinese Pavilion her wedding waltz with her husband Tord Magnuson in Karl X Gustav's Gallery and much much more. The text has been written in collaboration with journalist Carl Otto Werkelid formerly arts editor of Svenska Dagbladet and cultural counsellor at the Swedish Embassy in London.

Enrichetta the Duchess of Parma offers her thanks for Count Antonio Berni Canan's expressions of kindness following the death of her father Rinaldo d'Este 1655-Oct. 26 1737. Loosely translated from the Italian Enrichetta writes: "Recognizing very clearly your customary politeness and kindness in the courteous office that you were pleased to share with me on the occasion of the very heavy loss I suffered through the death of the Most Serene Lord Duke my Father of illustrious memory I attest to you my singular gratitude in the act of thanking you for it as I do most vividly. -- And also responding to the happy announcement of good tidings which on the same occasion you wished to put forward to me for the recurrence of Holy Christmas I pray the Lord to fill you with all the most desirable contentments."

Folded several times with a couple of tiny holes at the intersection of the folds. Good.</p><p>Duchess of Parma by marriage to her cousin Antonio Farnese Duke of Parma Princess Enrichetta d'Este 1702-1777 served as Regent of Parma during her alleged pregnancy in the period after the death of her husband in 1731. A Princess of Modena she had been among those seriously considered as a possible bride for Louis XV the king of France though the French Prime Minister the Duke of Bourbon regarded her inferior rank as an impediment. Her marriage to Antonio Farnese was arranged by Count Anvidi his secretary of state. The day prior to his death Antonio announced that Enrichetta was pregnant and a Regency council for the potential heir consisting of Enrichetta a bishop the first Secretary of State and two gentlemen of the Court was formed following Antonio's death. The Queen of Spain and the Pope supporting the 12 year old Don Carlos claim to the Duchy questioned her pregnancy. Though initially supported by the Emperor who opposed Spanish influence the Second Treaty of Vienna officially recognized the Infante Don Charles as the Duke of Vienna and Piacenza and the Emperor was forced to retract his support. Enrichetta discontinued her original plan to arrange a simulated birth. She later married Prince Leopold of Hesse-Darmstadt.</p> Borgo San Donnino, December, 1737.
