Anne of Bohemia (Person)
Anne of Bohemia
1366 AD - 1394 AD
- Queen consort of England 1382 – 1394
- House of Luxembourg
Historians have speculated that her counsel had a moderating effect on Richard during her lifetime. This is supported by his unwise conduct in the years after Anne's death that lost him his throne.
Although Anne was originally disliked by the chroniclers, there is some evidence that she became more popular in time.
She was a very kind person and popular with the people of England; for example, she was well known for her tireless attempts to "intercede" on behalf of the people, procuring pardons for participants in the Peasants' Revolt of 1381, and numerous other pardons for wrongdoers. In 1389, for example, she sought a pardon for a man who had been indicted for the murder of William de Cantilupe 14 years previously.
