專家說明

Ulrika Eleonora, youngest child of King Charles XI and Queen Ulrika Eleonora, married Prince Frederick of Hesse (1675-1751). She was elected Queen after her brother's death, however a new constitution inaugurated the so-called 'Era of Liberty' and saw the abolition of the royal absolutism giving power to Parliament. Ulrika abdicated in 1720 in favour of her husband who ascended the throne as Frederick I.
