Who was Anne's father?

  • Francis II

  • Louis XI

  • Charles VII

  • Henry IV

Answer

Anne's father was Francis II, who ruled as the King of France from 1559 until his death in 1560. Francis II's marriage to Mary, Queen of Scots, brought Scotland and France into a personal union. However, their reign was short-lived as Francis died from an ear infection in 1560 at the age of 16, leaving Mary as the sole monarch of Scotland and a claimant to the English throne.
