Anna of Austria (1549-1580)
From Includipedia, the inclusionist encyclopedia
Anna of Austria (Cigales, Valladolid, November 1 1549–Badajoz, October 26 1580), was Queen consort of Spain and Portugal.
She was the first daughter of Maximilian II, Holy Roman Emperor and Maria of Spain. She was born in Spain, but lived in Vienna from the age of four.
She was betrothed to Don Carlos, son of Philip II and heir to the Spanish throne, but he died in 1568. Philip II lost his third wife in the same year and a marriage was arranged between Anna and Philip II, despite the fact that Philip was also Anna's uncle.
Pope Pius V first opposed the marriage, but finally consented and they were married in Prague on May 4th, 1570.
Philip II and Anna of Austria had 5 children:
- Fernando: December 4, 1571 – October 18, 1578
- Carlos Lorenzo: August 12, 1573 - June 30, 1575
- Diego Félix: August 15, 1575 – November 21, 1582
- Philip: April 3, 1578 - March 31 1621 (future king, Philip III of Spain)
- María: February 14, 1580 - August 5, 1583
In 1580 Philip II obtained the throne of Portugal; Anna became Queen of Portugal. However, she died the same year, victim of a contagious disease which had also struck King Philip.
