Queen Christina

:01:21

Who are you?

:01:24

I was King of Sweden.

:01:33

The Lord, in his infinite wisdom...

:01:37

has seen fit to deprive us
of our noble king...

:01:41

Gustavus Adolphus...

:01:43

while Sweden is in the midst
of a grievous war.

:01:46

For 14 years our arms have served
in the field...

:01:50

against our enemies.

:01:51

And in this dark hour, we still fight on...

:01:54

for the Protestant cause of our country.

:01:57

Our King is dead...

:01:59

but his spirit still lives in us...

:02:02

and in his child, Christina.

:02:04

Her father, our King...

:02:07

brought up this child as a boy...

:02:10

accustomed her ears
to the sound of cannon fire...

:02:14

and sought to mold her spirit
after his own.

:02:17

Let's see the child.
