Wie trouwde met Anne of Brittany?

Anne of Brittany (Breton: Anna; 25/26 January 1477 – 9 January 1514) was reigning Duchess of Brittany from 1488 until her death, and Queen of France from 1491 to 1498 and from 1499 to her death. She was the only woman to have been queen consort of France twice. During the Italian Wars, Anne also became Queen of Naples, from 1501 to 1504, and Duchess of Milan, in 1499–1500 and from 1500 to 1512.

Anne was raised in Nantes during a series of conflicts in which the King of France sought to assert his suzerainty over Brittany. Her father, Francis II, Duke of Brittany, was the last male heir of the House of Montfort. Upon his death in 1488, Anne became duchess regnant of Brittany, countess of Nantes, Montfort, and Richmond, and viscountess of Limoges. She was only 11 at that time, but she was already considered a desirable prospect for marriage because of Brittany's strategic position. The next year, she married Maximilian I of Austria by proxy, but Charles VIII of France saw this as a threat since his realm was located between Brittany and Austria. He started a military campaign which eventually forced the duchess to renounce her marriage.

Anne eventually married Charles VIII in 1491. None of their children survived early childhood, and when the king died in 1498, the throne went to his cousin, Louis XII. Following an agreement made to secure the annexation of Brittany, Anne had to marry the new king. Louis XII was deeply in love with his wife and Anne had many opportunities to reassert the independence of her duchy. They had two daughters, although neither could succeed to the French throne due to the Salic law, the elder was proclaimed the heiress of Brittany. Anne managed to have her elder daughter engaged to Charles of Austria, grandchild of Maximilian I, but after Anne's death in 1514, her daughter married her cousin Francis I of France. This marriage later led to the formal union between France and Brittany.

Anne was highly regarded in Brittany as a conscientious ruler who defended the duchy against France. In the Romantic period, she became a figure of Breton patriotism and she was honoured with many memorials and statues. Her artistic legacy is important in the Loire Valley, where she spent most of her life. She was notably responsible, with her husbands, for architectural projects in the châteaux of Blois and Amboise.

Maximiliaan I (Wiener Neustadt, 22 maart 1459 — Wels, 12 januari 1519) was een telg uit het Huis Habsburg. Als enige overlevende zoon van keizer Frederik III werd hij aartshertog van Oostenrijk (als gevolg waarvan hij ook Maximiliaan I van Oostenrijk werd genoemd) met hausmacht aldaar. Vanaf 1508 was hij keizer van het Heilige Roomse Rijk.

Karl VIII (franska Charles VIII), född 30 juni 1470, död 7 april 1498, kallad Karl den godmodige, var kung av Frankrike från 1483 till sin död 1498.

Lodewijk XII (Blois, 27 juni 1462 – Parijs, 1 januari 1515) was koning van Frankrijk van 1498 tot aan zijn dood. Hij was de zoon van Karel van Orléans, en trouwde met Johanna, een dochter van Lodewijk XI.
