Anna of Austria (born 1275 in Vienna, Austria – died 1327 in Legnica) was an important princess. She was the daughter of Albert I of Germany and Elisabeth of Tirol. Anna was also a member of the famous House of Habsburg, a powerful royal family.

Anna's First Marriage

Anna first got married in 1295 in Graz. Her husband was Herman, Margrave of Brandenburg-Salzwedel. He was a ruler of a region called Brandenburg-Salzwedel.

Anna and Herman had four children together:

• Jutta of Brandenburg (1297–1353)
• John (1302–1317), who became ruler after his father but died young
• Matilde of Brandenburg (died 1323)
• Agnes of Brandenburg (1297–1334)

Herman passed away in 1308. Their son John then became the new ruler.

Anna's Second Marriage

In 1310, Anna married again. Her second husband was Henry VI the Good. He was the Duke of Wrocław. Henry was the son of Henry V the Fat and Elisabeth of Greater Poland.

Anna and Henry had three daughters:

• Elisabeth of Brieg (around 1311 – 1328)
• Euphemia of Brieg (around 1312 – after 1384)
• Margaret of Brieg (around 1313 – 1379), who later became an Abbess in Wrocław

Anna died in 1327 in Legnica. Ten years later, her second husband Henry also died. He did not have any sons to take over his rule. Because of this, Wrocław became part of the Bohemian crown.
