Toddyspexet Oxenstierna (duplicate)

The year is 1644 and the mood at Stockholm Palace is strained. After the death of Gustav II Adolf, the heir to the throne is the now 17-year-old Queen Kristina. However, ruling is the last thing she is interested in, and when she plays with friends and plans trips, the responsibility instead falls on her guardian and Chancellor Axel Oxenstierna. Secretly (or?) he harbors an inner desire to one day become king, and when dissatisfaction with the Queen bubbles over, Oxenstierna and his advisers begin to forge a plan to get rid of her.

The Queen's imminent trip to Italy could not have come at a more timely time, since Oxenstierna can let the Queen be revealed at a convenient distance from Sweden. The Queen then arrives, completely unaware of the plans being hatched, at the Palazzo Riario convent in Rome. There she gets to meet the convent's antiquated Abbess, see the somewhat... suspicious activities that are conducted there, meet the 17th century's most self-confident and inept Cardinal - Mazarin - and, eventually, meet her fate. But will the Oxenstiers really carry out their plan? What can actually save the Queen? And who will actually rule Sweden?

Come and see for yourself when Toddyspexet from Lund offers a set of Oxenstierna.
