On this day in royal history . 2 March 1619 . Anne of Denmark died . 👑 Anne of Denmark was Queen consort of Scotland, England, & Ireland as the wife of James VI and I. . ◼ By late 1617, Anne’s bouts of illness had become debilitating.  John Chamberlain recorded: “The Queen continues still ill disposed & though she would fain lay all her infirmities upon the gout yet most of her physicians fear a further inconvenience of an ill habit or disposition through her whole body.” In January 1619, royal physician Sir Theodore de Mayerne instructed Anne to saw wood to improve her blood flow, but the exertion served to make her worse. James visited Anne only three times during her last illness, though Prince Charles often slept in the adjoining bedroom at Hampton Court Palace & was at her bedside during her last hours, when she had lost her sight. With her until the end was her personal maid, Anna Roos, who had arrived with her from Denmark in 1590. . Queen Anne died aged 44 on 2 March 1619, of a dangerous form of dropsy. . ◼ Despite his neglect of Anne, James was emotionally affected by her death. He did not visit her during her dying days or attend her funeral, being himself sick, the symptoms, according to Sir Theodore de Mayerne, including “fainting, sighing, dread, incredible sadness …”. The inquest discovered Anne to be “much wasted within, specially her liver”. After a prolonged delay, she was buried in King Henry’s Chapel, Westminster Abbey, on 13 May 1619. The catafalque, designed by Maximilian Colt, placed over her grave was destroyed during the civil war. . 👑 James turned to verse to pay his respects; . ‘So did my Queen from hence her court remove . And left off earth to be enthroned above. . She’s changed, not dead, for sure no good prince dies, . But, as the sun, sets, only for to rise’. . . . #OnThisDayInHistory #ThisDayInHistory #TheYear1619 #AnneofDenmark #d2mar #QueenConsort #Queen #HouseofOldenburg #Royalty #HouseofStuart #Monarchy #EnglishMonarchy #onthisday #Royals #stuarts #JamesI #kingjames #queenanne #Queen #Britishhistory #BritishMonarchy #History #JamesVI&I #OTD #OnThisDay #RoyalHistory #RoyalFamily (at Hampton Court Palace) https://www.instagram.com/p/CL7qEDHBHaq/?igshid=1w0l2ugekwsbx

On This Day In History . 12th December 1574 . 👑 Anne of Denmark was born . . Anne of Denmark was Queen consort of Scotland, England, & Ireland as the wife of James VI & I. . ◼ Anne was born on 12 December 1574 at the castle of Skanderborg on the Jutland Peninsula in the Kingdom of Denmark. . ◼ Anne was the second daughter of King Frederick II of Denmark, Anne married James in 1589 at age 14 & bore him three children who survived infancy, including the future Charles I. . ◼ Anne appears to have loved James at first, but the couple gradually drifted & eventually lived apart, though mutual respect & a degree of affection survived. . ◼ In England, Anne shifted her energies from factional politics to patronage of the arts & constructed her own magnificent court, hosting one of the richest cultural salons in Europe. . ◼ After 1612, she suffered sustained bouts of ill health & gradually withdrew from the centre of court life. Though she was reported to have been a Protestant at the time of her death on 2 March 1619, evidence suggests that she may have converted to Catholicism sometime in her life. . ◼ Historians have traditionally dismissed Anne as a lightweight queen, frivolous & self-indulgent. . However, recent reappraisals acknowledge Anne's assertive independence &, in particular, her dynamic significance as a patron of the arts during the Jacobean age. . . . #OnThidDayInHistory #History #TheYear1574 #AnneofDenmark #QueenConsort #Scotland #HouseofOldenburg #HouseofStuart #instahistory #ElectressofSaxony #BritishMonarchy #RoyaltyinArt #D12Dec (at Skanderborg) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrTfrM5Afz9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1n1a12i89lh4a
