Anne of France

Anne of France, born on April third, fourteen sixty-one, was a prominent French princess and politician. As the eldest daughter of Louis XI and Charlotte of Savoy, she played a significant role in the political landscape of late fifteenth-century Europe.

She was the sister of Charles VIII and served as his regent during his minority from fourteen eighty-three until fourteen ninety-one. During this period, Anne emerged as one of the most influential women of her time, earning the title 'Madame la Grande,' which translates to 'the Great Lady.'

In addition to her regency for her brother, Anne also acted as the de facto regent of the Duchy of Bourbon from fifteen hundred three to fifteen twenty-one, during the reign of her daughter, Suzanne, Duchess of Bourbon. Her political acumen and leadership left a lasting impact on the governance of her territories.
