Secrets of History | Anne of Brittany - Twice A Queen

A 2014 France TV History Documentary hosted by Stéphane Bern. Audio in French with English subtitles.

The life of Anne of Brittany was an extraordinary adventure of love, betrayal, desperation and jealousy. Married at 14 to King Charles VIII, then seven years later to King Louis XII, she united her Duchy with its historic enemy: France.

Anne of Brittany (French: Anne de Bretagne; Breton: Anna Breizh) was Duchess of Brittany from 1488 until her death, and queen consort of France from 1491 to 1498 and from 1499 to her death. She is the only woman to have been queen consort of France twice. During the Italian Wars, Anne also became queen consort of Naples, from 1501 to 1504, and duchess consort of Milan, in 1499–1500 and from 1500 to 1512.
