Anne Marie d'Orléans

Anne Marie d'Orléans, born on August twenty-seventh, sixteen sixty-nine, was a prominent figure in European aristocracy. As the Queen of Sardinia through her marriage to King Victor Amadeus II, she played a significant role in the political landscape of her time.

Her influence extended beyond her royal title; she served as regent of Savoy during her husband's absences in sixteen eighty-six and throughout the tumultuous period of the War of the Spanish Succession. This period showcased her capability and resilience in governance.

In addition to her royal duties, Anne Marie was recognized as the heiress presumptive to the Jacobite claim to the thrones of England, Scotland, and Ireland. This claim, however, eventually transitioned to the Protestant House of Hanover, marking a significant shift in the dynastic landscape of the British Isles.
