This episode of The Story of Hungary explores the remarkable life and legacy of Queen Anna Jagiellon (1503–1547), wife of King Ferdinand I and a crucial figure in the consolidation of Habsburg rule in Hungary. We delve into her role as a patron of the arts, her political acumen during the turbulent decades following the Battle of Mohács (1526), and her efforts to stabilize the kingdom through dynastic marriage and cultural patronage. Listeners will learn about her influence on the construction of the Buda Castle, her support for the printing of Hungarian-language books, and her negotiations with the Ottoman Empire. We also discuss the often-overlooked contributions of royal women to state-building in early modern Europe. Featuring terms like Jagelló Anna, Habsburg, Buda, Magyar nyelv, and Szapolyai János.
