As the eldest daughter of the Holy Roman Emperor, Anna was a desirable party for marriage at the European courts. Her parents thought of a Spanish marriage for its links between the Austrian and Spanish Habsburg families. Initially she had her cousin [[Don Carlos, Prince of Asturias|Don Carlos of Spain]] in mind, the only son of her maternal uncle [[Philip II of Spain]]. These plans were shattered in 1568 when Don Carlos died, due to falling out with his father and going on hunger strike. The Spanish marriage plans received a boost when Philip's third wife, [[Elisabeth of Valois]], died in child-birth, also in 1568, and Philip was so now a widower with two young daughters. Philip had been married three times before: first to his double firstly cousin [[Maria Manuela, Princess of Portugal]], secondly to first cousin, one removed [[Mary I of England]], and thirdly to the aforementioned Elisabeth of Valois. Philip was now looking for his fourth wife, since he had no male heir since Don Carlos died. In February 1569, Anna's engagement to her uncle Philip II was announced and in May 1570 they married by [[Proxy marriage|proxy]].
Anna
Besides being her father's favorite child, she was also Philip's most beloved wife. But the marriage was at first opposed by many, including [[Pope Pius V]].<ref>[http://www.philipmould.com/catalogue.php?sid=2411&p= Anna of Austria, Queen of Spain- Spanish School]</ref> According to diplomats, the king was in love with his young bride. Philip was a conscientious monarch and maintained his relationship with Anna twice a week to write notes. It was Philip's fourth marriage, but the king still had no male heir. Anna completed her duties flawlessly in that regard. Not only was she a good step-mother to Philip's daughters [[Isabella Clara Eugenia]] and [[Infanta Catherine Michelle of Spain|Catherine Michelle]]',<ref>[http://www.inghist.nl/Onderzoek/Projecten/DVN/lemmata/data/AnnavanOostenrijk Anna of Austria]</ref> but she also gave birth to five children, including sons.
