Anne of Austria served as Queen of France from 1615 to 1643. Following her husband’s passing, she acted as regent for her son Louis XIV until 1651. Her regency saw the appointment of Cardinal Mazarin as chief minister and her adept handling of political obstacles like the Fronde revolt. Anne was esteemed for her court influence and her bond with her son. She withdrew from political life in 1661 and lived out her final years in a convent she had established, passing away in 1666.
