Anne Of was born on January 25th, 1477. She died at the age of 36 on January 9th, 1514.General Notes
Anne of Brittany, b. Jan. 25, 1477, d. Jan. 9, 1514, inherited the French
duchy of Brittany in 1488 and took care to preserve its autonomy in her two
marriages to kings of France: Charles VIII (1491) and Louis XII (1499). An
earlier proxy marriage (1490) to Maximilian of Austria (later Holy Roman
Emperor Maximilian I) was broken off when Charles VIII attacked Brittany.
Anne's daughter by Louis, Claude, married the future Frances I of France in
1514, and Brittany was finally incorporated into the French kingdom in 1532.
