Anna, queen of Hungary and Bohemia (1503-47) was Queen-consort of the Romans and heiress of Bohemia and Hungary.

She was the daughter of king Vladislaus II of Hungary and Bohemia (1456-1516), of the Jagello dynasty, and his fourth wife Anna of Foix, relative of the kings of Navarre.

On May 25, 1521 in Linz, Austria, he married Archduke Ferdinand of Austria, Infante of Spain, regent of the Austrian patrimony.

Anna's only brother king Louis II of Hungary and Bohemia was killed at the battle of Mohacs in 1526. Anna and Ferdinand inherited Bohemia and what was left of Hungary.

In 153 Ferdinand's elder brother Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor accepted Ferdinand as the successor to the empire, and Ferdinand was elevated to the title King of the Romans.

After Anna's death, 1556 Charles V abdicated and Ferdinand succeeded as Emperor.

They had a bunch of children, which was a respite to Bohemia and Hungary, for some centuries suffered from uncertain succession prospects as the number of direct heirs was precarious and they tended to die prematurely.


Anna Jagellonica of Bohemia and Hungary (July 23, 1503 - January 27, 1547) was the only daughter of Vladislaus II of Bohemia and Hungary and Anna of Foix-Candale. She was an older sister of Louis II of Hungary and Bohemia, and his eventual heiress.

Her paternal grandparents were king Casimir IV of Poland, Grand duke of Lithuania, and Elisabeth of Austria, one of the heiresses of heiress of Bohemia, duchy of Luxembourg and duchy of Kujavia. Her maternal grandparents were Gaston de Foix, Count of Candale and Catherine de Foix, Intanta of the Kingdom of Navarre.

Life account

She was born in Prague and for ther first three years of her life was the Heiress Presumptive to the thrones of Bohemia and the Kingdom of Hungary. The birth of her younger brother Louis on July 1, 1506 demoted her to second-in-line heiress. Her mother died on July 26 of the same year.

The death of Vladislaus II on March 13, 1516 left both siblings in the care of Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor. She was arranged to marry his grandson Ferdinand, second son of Queen regnant Joanna of Castile and her husband and co-ruler Philip I of Castile.

Anne married Ferdinand on May 25, 1521 in Linz, Austria. At the time Ferdinand was controling the Habsburg hereditary lands in name of his older brother Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor.

Her brother Louis was killed in the Battle of Mohács against Suleiman the Magnificent of the Ottoman Empire on August 29, 1526. This left vacant the thrones of both Bohemia and Hungary with Anne being his closest living relative. Ferdinand claimed both Kingdoms in her right and was elected King of Bohemia on October 24 of the same year.

Hungary was a more difficult case. Suleiman had annexed much of its lands. Ferdinand was proclaimed King of Hungary but a faction of Hungarian nobles who proclaimed that no foreign ruler could held that title. They elected John Zápolya as a rival King and conflict between them and their heirs would last until 1571.

Meanwhile Anne served as Queen consort of Bohemia and one of two rival Queen consorts of Hungary until her death. She died in her native Prague.

Children

Anna and Ferdinand had fifteen children:

Genetics

Anne of Bohemia was a direct matrilineal ancestor of Queen Victoria (and therefore of the last Russian czarina Alexandra Fyodorovna as well as HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh). Provided this genealogy is correct, Anne of Bohemia must therefore have been of mitochondrial haplogroup H according to tests on the latter two descedants.
