Anne of France (or
Anne de Beaujeu) (3 April 1461 – 14 November 1522) was the eldest daughter of
Louis XI of France and his second wife,
Charlotte of Savoy. Anne was the sister of King
Charles VIII of France, for whom she acted as
regent during his minority; and of
Joan of France, who was briefly queen consort to
Louis XII. As regent of France, Anne was one of the most powerful women of late fifteenth-century Europe and was referred to as "Madame la Grande".
