#Infanta Anne of Austria

[thepastisalreadywritten]

Arch-Reliquary of Saint Victor

In the Royal Collections of Spain, this piece is preserved in gold, silver and golden silver, with enamel applications and hard stones.

Known as the "Arch-Relicary of Saint Victor," it arrived in Spain as the dowry of Archduchess Anne of Austria (2 November 1549 – 26 October 1580), daughter of Emperor Maximilian II of Austria (31 July 1527 – 12 October 1576) and Infanta Anne of Austria (21 June 1528 – 26 February 1603), who married her uncle King Philip II (21 May 1527 - 13 September 1598) in 1584.

Created by the famous German plater, Wenzel Jamnitzer (1507/1508 – 19 December 1585), it was initially thought of as a bridal ark or jewelry box.

Later, the Queen had the relics of Saint Victor kept in and donated to the Royal Monastery of the Royal Barefoot in Madrid, where several ladies of the House of Austria lived.

Royal Godparents to Royal Godchildren

I did this list back in 2012, and got some great responses. I've updated and edited parts of the list. Again, any corrections and/or adds, message me! Thanks in advance!

When choosing godparents for their children, the parents often chose friends or other relatives. Often in royal circles, royals also pick other royals. Here’s a partial list. (Yes, I know some lists are incompelte as some of these royals’s godchildren are not royals themselves.) If you have any additions, please feel free to message me!

Alexandra Dowling as Anne of Austria, in “The Musketeers.”

[leonorplantagenet]

Part 1 || For some weird reason, today I couldn't control my creative impulses. ✏️ Anne of Austria is possibly one of my favourite Spanish infantas. She deserved all the love and the care (and a wink wink at Rubens' hugely famous portrait). As a base, I used a picture of Alexandra Dowling, who portrayed Anne in the British series "The Musketeers.

• Countess Elizabeth Báthory de Ecsed, (7 August 1560 – 21 August 1614), was a Hungarian noblewoman and "purported serial killer" from the family of Báthory, who owned land in the Kingdom of Hungary.

• Urraca of Zamora (1033/34 – 1101) was a Leónese infanta, one of the five children of Ferdinand I the Great, who received the city of Zamora as her inheritance and exercised palatine authority in it. Her story was romanticized in the cantar de gesta called the Cantar de Mio Cid, and Robert Southey's Chronicle of the Cid.

• Catherine de’ Medici, was queen consort of Henry II of France and subsequently regent of France (1560–74), who was one of the most influential personalities of the Catholic–Huguenot wars. Three of her sons were kings of France: Francis II, Charles IX, and Henry III.

• Archduchess Margaret of Austria  was Governor of the Habsburg Netherlands from 1507 to 1515 and again from 1519 to 1530. She was the first of many female regents in the Netherlands.

• Jasper Tudor, Duke of Bedford and Earl of Pembroke  also called Jasper of Hatfield, was the uncle of King Henry VII of England and a leading architect of his nephew's successful accession to the throne in 1485. He was from the noble Tudor family of Penmynydd in North Wales.

• Mary was the eldest of three surviving children of Thomas and Elizabeth Boleyn. Much like her siblings, Anne and George, many details regarding Mary’s formative years remain something of a mystery, and we cannot be exactly certain in which order the siblings were born. We can, however, be fairly certain that the children were born between 1500 and 1507, at the Boleyn estate of Blickling Hall, in Norfolk.
