Anne of Denmark (1574-1619) was Queen consort of Scotland, England, and Ireland by marriage to King James VI and I. She married James in 1589 at age 15 and bore him three children who survived infancy, including the future Charles I. She appears to have loved James at first, but the couple gradually drifted and eventually lived apart, though mutual respect and a degree of affection survived. In England, Anne shifted her energies from factional politics to patronage of the arts and constructed her own magnificent court, hosting one of the richest cultural salons in Europe.

Anne of Denmark (1574-1619) was Queen consort of Scotland, England, and Ireland by marriage to King James VI and I. She married James in 1589 at age 15 and bore him three children who survived infancy, including the future Charles I. She appears to have loved James at first, but the couple gradually drifted and eventually lived apart, though mutual respect and a degree of affection survived. In England, Anne shifted her energies from factional politics to patronage of the arts and constructed her own magnificent court, hosting one of the richest cultural salons in Europe. After 1612, she suffered sustained bouts of ill health and gradually withdrew from the centre of court life. Though she was reported to have been a Protestant at the time of her death, evidence suggests that she may have converted to Catholicism sometime in her life.
