1481 - She was officially promised in marriage to Edward, Prince of Wales, son of Edward IV of England.

1490 - Her marriage with Maximilian, which took place at Rennes by proxy on the 19th of December, gained Anne the title Queen of the Romans but proved to have serious consequences.

1498 - At Étampes, she agreed to marry Louis if he obtained an annulment from Jeanne within a year.

1499 - Her third marriage ceremony, on 8 January (she wore white, setting a precedent for future brides), was concluded under conditions radically different to those of the second.

1415 - Died on the 9th of January, dying of a kidney-stone attack at the Chateau of Blois.
