Anne of Austria

Anne of Austria (1601-1666), as the wife of King Louis XIII of France (r. 1610-1643), was queen consort of France and of Navarre when the Kingdom of Navarre was annexed by the French Crown. She also acted as regent for her son, King Louis XIV of France (1638-1715), during the early years of his reign.

Early Life

Anne was born in Valladolid, Spain, on 22 September 1601 to King Philip III of Spain (r. 1598-1621) and Margaret of Austria (l. 1584-1611). Her childhood was spent at the Royal Alcazar in Madrid, Spain. Growing up, Anne was constantly visiting monasteries and would soon follow in her parents' footsteps and become very religious. In 1611, Anne's mother died in childbirth, and so the responsibility of raising her younger siblings was passed down to Anne.

While a Spaniard, Anne had Austrian ancestry and was considered an Austrian Archduchess as well as a Princess of Spain and Portugal, which is why she is referred to as ‘of Austria'. Anne was described to be a very beautiful girl, even at a young age, with fair hair that could often be found in large curls, greenish-blue eyes, and an oval face. Her beauty and political position would help Anne gain the attention of many suitors.

The most successful of Anne's suitors was none other than King Louis XIII of France (l. 1601-1643), and when their betrothal was announced to the people of Paris on 18 March 1612, there were celebrations throughout the city. There were balls, banquets, and celebratory parties being hosted in the Louvre (the residence of French royalty), Fontainebleau Palace, and St. Germain. This was a political marriage, and Anne's father thought this would be a good chance to bring France into the Habsburg world; the couple married in 1615 when Anne was 14 years old.

As it would turn out, the union between Anne and Louis was very cold. Louis prioritized activities common for young men of high status, such as hunting rabbits in the garden of the Tuileries Palace, and would allow himself to fully listen and be governed by his favorite advisors in court; as such, he had almost no relationship with Anne.

Anne of Austria (1549-1580), eldest daughter of Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian II (1527-1576), married her uncle King Philip II of Spain (1527-1598) in 1570. The Austrian and Spanish branches of the Habsburg dynasty preferred to keep things in the family, to an absurd level: Anne’s mother Maria of Austria (1528-1603) was also her aunt and after marrying Philip, her mother also became her sister-in-law. Anne gave Philip his only surviving son and heir, Philip III of Spain (1578-1621). This portrait from 1570 of her by Dutch painter Anthonis Mor (1516/19-1575), shows Anne wearing typical Spanish court fashion of that time. @kunsthistorischesmuseumvienna #kunsthistorischesmuseum #kunsthistorischesmuseumwien #kunsthistorischesmuseumvienna #habsburg #anneofaustria #philipofspain #queenofspain #habsburgdynasty #marriage #anthonismor #anthonismorvandashorst #family #keepitinthefamily #art #painting (bij Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna) https://www.instagram.com/p/B06TvJ1FgfP/?igshid=12pcy19w68sd1

Did you ever noted that when Anne and Aramis are alone, she is  always wearing her hair down?

Because she is free with him, but when she is in the palace

What do you think?

Closed | Anne and Queen Anne |

When timing was perfect, Anne went to Queen Anne's chambers after she was dismissed from her duties. She had received the message earlier that day but she couldn't bring herself to visit her. Walking through the corridor she was announced into the chambers "Mistress Anne Bassett." the squire announced and she walked in and curtsied lowly her eyes looking at the floor and she took a deep breath before standing back up "Majesty.." She said softly to her now friend and she blinked a few times as her face held a calm facade.
