Anna Gyllander
Anna Gyllander, (born 1633- after 1659), was a Swedish imposter, who during the reign of King Charles X of Sweden, presented herself to be the abdicated queen Christina of Sweden.
In 1659, King Charles X was reached by the rumors that there was a woman travelling about the country as the former regent queen Christina, who abdicated and was living in Rome. The alleged "Queen Christina" had travelled about the country for at least a year, toasting "her brother the king" and firing gunshots to his honor. When asked if she was "Cristina Regina", she reportedly replied: "Ni säger så" (In English:"I hear you say that," or: "So you say"), and said that her parents was King Gustavus IX Adolphus of Sweden and Queen Maria Eleonora, and while she did not say straight out that she was Queen Christina, she made gave the impression to be and made people believe that she was.
The imposter was apprehended and identified as Anna Gyllander, daughter of Anders Gyllander from Norrköping and married to a cavalry captain from Courland in the division of Kruuse. She defended herself by claiming that she had no idea how serious the whole thing would be considered and pleaded for mercy. The king sentenced her to one month imprisonement on water and bread, followed by banishment and exile from the kingdom and its provinces. Her fate following banishment is unknown.[citation needed]
