Anna Jagellonica of Bohemia and Hungary (July 23, 1503 - January 27, 1547) was queen of Hungary and Bohemia, Queen-consort of the Romans and heiress of Bohemia and Hungary.

She was the elder child and only daughter of Vladislaus II of Bohemia and Hungary (1456-1516) and his fourth wife 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, of the Jagello dynasty, and Elisabeth of Austria, one of the heiresses 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 Archduke Ferdinand of Austria, second son of Queen regnant Joanna of Castile and her late husband and co-ruler Philip I of Castile.

Anne married Ferdinand on May 25, 1521 in Linz, Austria. At the time Ferdinand was controlling the Habsburg hereditary lands on behalf 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 by a group but a faction of Hungarian nobles refused to allow no foreign ruler to hold that title. They elected John Zápolya as a rival King and conflict between them and their successors would last until 1571.

In 1531 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.

Anna and Ferdinand 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.

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.

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

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.
