# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Ulrika Eleonora was the youngest child of Charles XI and named after her mother, who became known as Ulrika Eleonora the Elder. She married Frederick of Hesse-Kassel in 1715. When her brother Charles XII died in 1718, her nephew — son of her deceased elder sister — had the stronger claim by primogeniture, but she cited Queen Christina's precedent and argued proximity of blood made her the closest surviving relative. The Riksdag recognized her after she agreed to renounce the absolute monarchy her father had established. On 29 February 1720 she abdicated in favour of Frederick, who became King Frederick I, and she served as his queen consort until her death in 1741.
