Anna of Bavaria

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anna of Bavaria (or of the Palatinate) was the daughter of Rudolf II, Duke of Bavaria and Count Palatine of the Rhine, and of Anna, daughter of Otto II, Duke of Carinthia.

She was born on 26 September 1329. She was a member of the House of Wittelsbach. On 4 March 1349 she married Charles, King of Bohemia and King of the Romans (with opposition). After Charles' second election on 17 June, 1349, she became Queen of the Romans without opposition.

Anna and Charles' marriage was short, and they had only one son, Wenceslaus (27 January 1350), who died in infancy (30 December 1351). Anna died on 2 February 1353, predeceasing her husband.
