Anna de Foix and Candal (after 1480 - 26. 7. 1506) - the third wife of King Vladislav II. Jagiello. Her parents were Count Gaston of Foix and Candal and his wife Catherine of Foix.
Anna spent her childhood first with his grandfather in the castle of Foix, then went to the French royal court, where she received an education. Countess became due to familiarity with the wife of the French king Charles VIII. Anna, who was her aunt. Wife of Vladislav Jagiello could become only after the Pope annulled the king's two unfulfilled marriages with Beatrice of Naples and Barbara of Brandenburg. Volume should consolidate Jagellonec alliance with the French Louis XII. against the Ottoman threat, but also against the Habsburg dynasty, which in Central Europe gained in importance. The wedding took place in September 1502 in Buda and before him, Anne was crowned Hungarian crown of St. Stephen. Czech lands, which still survived in the spirit of Protestantism, the Queen never visited. The reason for this could be her strict Catholic upbringing. Ladislaus Jagiellon Anna gave birth to a daughter, Anna Jagiellonian, and long-awaited son Louis, alone but for a few days after his birth in Buda passed away.
