Anne was born in 1290 in the Kingdom of Bohemia. Her mother, Judith, died in 1297 when Anne was seven years old. Of her mother's ten children, only four of them lived to adulthood:
Margaret
.
In 1300 Anne's widowed father,
Agnes of Bohemia
.
Her father also had numerous illegitimate children, including Jan Volek (?? – 27 September 1351),
King of Poland. However, all power was soon taken over by Rudolf of Habsburg. Anne and Henry then fled to Carinthia
out of reach from Rudolph. Rudolph only reigned for one year and on his death Henry assumed the throne of Bohemia again.
The royal couple turned their attention to Anne's younger unmarried sister Elisabeth. They wished to have her married but Elisabeth refused every suitor that came forward. In 1310 Elisabeth married
John of Luxembourg. This union caused Anne and Elisabeth to fall out. It was said that Elisabeth was more beautiful than Anne and that Anne was jealous of her. [citation needed

By 1310 John and Elisabeth occupied Prague; Anne and Henry were sent back to live in Carinthia in exile. She died in 1313 in Ljubljana, the capital of Carniola, then part of her husband's domains.[3] She was buried in Bolzano, Tyrol. She died aged only twenty two and childless. Her husband married twice more.
