The eldest daughter of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV and his fourth wife, Elizabeth of Pomerania. Anne became Queen of England on 20th January 1382, when she was married to Richard II in Westminster Abbey. The union was supported by Pope Urban VI, who wanted to tie his supporters closer together. Although they produced no heir, the marriage appears to have been affectionate. On her death in 1394, Richard displayed great emotion and ordered Sheen Palace, the place where she had died, to be demolished.
