Christina Gyllenstierna

Christina Nilsdotter Gyllenstierna of Fogelvik was a Swedish noblewoman. She was married to the Swedish regent Sten Sture the Younger and led the Swedish resistance against Christian II of Denmark after the death of her spouse. In her own lifetime, she was simply referred to as Fru Kristina, but she has become known in history as Kristina Gyllenstierna because of the noble family to which she belonged.
