[edit] Life

Anna was the daughter of Gaston of Foix, Count of Candale and Infanta Catherine of Navarre. Her mother was the youngest daughter of Eleanor of Aragon, who herself became the reigning Queen of Navarre for a couple of weeks in 1479 and then died, and Gaston IV, Count of Foix. (Anna's father was a relative of her mother's father.) Anna was born during the reign of her first cousin Queen Catherine I of Navarre. Queen Catherine ascended the Navarrese throne in 1483 and ruled with her husband John of Albret from 1484, the year of Anna's birth.

The elderly, twice-divorced and childless King Vladislaus II of Hungary of the Jagiellon dynasty had been searching a wife capable of giving him a son. His sights were set on a powerful alliance, closely related to French royalty was acceptable. On 29 September 1502, Vladislaus wed the 18-year-old Anna in Székesfehérvár and she was crowned Queen of Hungary there that same day.[1]

Although Anna was his third wife, she gave birth to his only surviving legitimate children,[2] who were born in Buda:
