Anna of Austria (1318–1343) was the youngest daughter of

Elisabeth of Tirol.[2][3] Her maternal grandparents were James II of Aragon and Blanche of Anjou
.

Marriages

It was important for Anna to marry since her elder siblings, Frederick and Elizabeth, had died without children.

Anna was originally engaged to the future

Jadwiga of Greater Poland, but the plans collapsed after Frederick was defeated at the Battle of Mühldorf.[4]

Between 1326 and 1328, Anna married Henry XV, Duke of Bavaria. The marriage was short; Henry died in 1333 and the couple had no issue.

Anna later married John Henry, Count of Gorizia. This marriage was also childless and Anna was widowed again in 1338.
