Abstract [sv]

Queen Christina of Sweden has throughout history often been describes as a both lesbian, promiscuous and hermaphroditic. The essay is a historiographical study of the research made in the area during the 20th century, and analyses ten authors on the basis of Queer Theory. The concepts o sex, gender and desire are central in the study. The results show that the scientists who advocate Christina's abnormality all have a strong connection between the concepts sex, gender and desire, and have a heteronormative view of society, while the scientists who question this theory separates the concepts and find it as normal to be homosexual as heterosexual. This confirms contemporary research, particularly that made in the discipline of literary studies.
