Robert (ca 1055 - ca 1060)
For six years after his death in 1060, she served as regent  for their son, Philip , who was 7 at the time of his father's death. She was the first queen of France to serve as regent.
A year after the King's death, Anne, acting as Regent took a passionate fancy for Raoul II (III?) de Péronne, Count of Crépy, of Valois and of the Vexin, a man whose political ambition encouraged him to repudiate his wife to marry Anne in 1062. Accused of adultery, Raoul's wife appealed to Pope Alexander II , who excommunicated Raoul and Anne. The young king Philippe forgave his mother, which was just as well, since he was to find himself in a very similar predicament in the 1090s. Raoul died in September 1071.
