Anne of Austria. Queen consort of France, 1615-1643. Anne, the daughter of King Philip III and Queen Margaret of Spain, was betrothed at the age of 11 to King Louis XIII of France, who was five days her junior. The two were married by proxy in 1615; they had a difficult marriage, and Queen Anne suffered several miscarriages, but finally had a son--the future King Louis XIV--at the age of 37 in 1638, and another son two years later. Queen Anne became involved in intrigues against royal adviser Cardinal Richelieu, and he eventually succeeded in restricting her activities. Louis XIV acceded to the throne in 1643 upon his father's death, and dowager Queen Anne served as regent until he came of age in 1651. Anne spent her last years in a convent, where she died on January 20, 1666 at the age of 64.
