When Francis II dies in 1488, eleven-year-old Anne inherits Brittany amid a French campaign to end the duchy’s independent course. Her proxy marriage to Maximilian of Habsburg offers an alliance against France, but invasion and political isolation force Anne into a settlement with the young king Charles VIII.
Their 1491 marriage turns former enemies into an uneasy royal partnership. As Anne tries to protect Breton rights and the couple endure the deaths of their children, Charles pursues his claim to Naples and carries the French court into the opening Italian Wars.
