Her paternal grandfather, Georges II, Count of Montafié was a

Duchess of Étampes, the celebrated mistress of King Francis I of France
.

Anne had one sister, Urbaine who would later marry Louis de La Chatre, Baron of Maisonfort,

François, Prince of Conti

Marriage and issue

On 27 December 1601, she married Charles de Bourbon, Count of Soissons, son of

countship of Montafié in Piedmont as well as her mother's seigneuries of Bonnétable
and Lucé to the Bourbons.

Her mother had died near Chartres on the day of Anne's wedding.

Together Charles and Anne had five children, three of whom lived to adulthood:[2][failed verification]

Her husband had two illegitimate daughters by his mistress Anne Marie Bohier, with whom he had a relationship before his marriage to Anne.[2]

Death

Anne died on 17 June 1644 at the Hotel de Soissons in Paris, shortly before her 67th birthday. She was buried alongside her husband and children in the Soissons family tomb in the charterhouse of Gaillon.

Her only son, Louis had been killed in battle three years earlier without having had legitimate issue; therefore, the countship of Soissons passed

Prince of Carignano. The present House of Savoy are direct descendants of Anne through her daughter Marie, Princess of Carignano
.
