Which King did Anne marry by proxy?

  • Maximilian I

  • Henry VII

  • Ferdinand II

  • Philip I

Answer

The answer is Maximilian I. Anne of Brittany was first betrothed to Edward VI, then to Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor, by proxy in 1490, but the engagement was broken off when Charles VIII of France invaded Brittany. After the French victory at the Battle of Saint-Aubin-du-Cormier, Anne was forced to marry Charles VIII in December 1491.
