She retained her attachment to Bretagne while queen of France, and sometimes exercised her influence over the king in a manner detrimental to the interests of her adopted country. Louis the Twelfth was sensible that he frequently yielded too much to her, hut her many noble and lovely qualities endeared her to him.
Anne died January 9th., 1514, at the age of thirty-seven and Louis mourned her loss with the most sincere sorrow.
ANNE OF CLEVES,
Daughter of John the Third, duke of Cleves, was the fourth wife of Henry the Eighth of England. He had fallen in love with her from her portrait painted by Holbein, but as the painter had flattered her, Henry soon became disgusted with her, and obtained a divorce. Anne yielded without a struggle, or without apparent concern. She passed nearly all the rest of her life in England as a private personage, and died 1557.
ANNE OF CYPRESS,
Daughter of Giano, king of Cypress, married in 1432, Louis, duke of Savoy, and shewed herself able, active, and discriminating, at the head of public affairs.
