11/10/1584 AD born
Daughter of King Charles IX of Sweden and his first spouse Maria of the Palatinate-Simmern.
Her personality was described as "a happy union of her father's power and wisdom and her mother's tender humility".
Her mother died in 1589, and she was placed in the care of the German Euphrosina Heldina von Dieffenau, whom she praised much later in life.
In 1592, her father remarried to Christina of Holstein-Gottorp. She reportedly got along well with her stepmother and was close to her half siblings, especially her eldest brother, the future King Gustavus Adolphus, who is noted to have been very affectionate toward her.
In later letters to her consort, however, it seems that she was not always as much in agreement with her stepmother as she gave the impression to be.
