Mrs King James I of England
1574 – 1619 Anne of Denmark, queen consort of King James Iof England, was born in 1574, daughter of King Frederick II of Denmark and Norway. In 1589, at age 15, she married King James (then King James VI of Scotland) by proxy in Kronborg Castle in Oslo, Norway. The royal couple proceeded to have eight children. Their first child Prince Henry, was born in 1594, followed by Elizabeth (1596), Margaret (1598), Charles, later King Charles I of England (1600), Robert (1602), an unnamed son who died in his infancy (1603), Mary (1605) and Sophia (1606).

Mrs King James I of England
1574 – 1619 Child mortality rate was high in the seventeenth century, a fact even the royalty could not escape — in addition to the unnamed child, Anne lost Margaret at 14 months of age, Robert at the age of 4 months, Mary at 2 years, and one-day-old Sophia—only three made it to adulthood. It was after Sophia's death that the couple, who had never had much in common, decided to live apart. Although Anne had been brought up as a Lutheran, she had become a Roman Catholic during the 1590s. Her Catholic sympathies continued to be a source of embarrassment throughout his reign.

Mrs King James I of England
1574 – 1619 Anne devoted herself to court entertainments, spending extravagantly. Anne also had a flair for expensive clothing, and costly building projects, which all added to the financial difficulties of her husband’s reign. Financial troubles, however, were nothing compared to the direst loss of Anne's life: Henry, Prince of Wales, future King of England, met an untimely death in November 1612, at the age of 18. Anne of Denmark passed away on March at Hampton Court Palace, and was buried in Westminster Abbey.
