]]> Programme dedicated to Anne of Austria (1601-1666). Daughter of Philip III, she became Queen of France alongside King Louis XIII. She was a witness to political conspiracies typical of the French court. On the death of the monarch, she took over the regency on behalf of her son, the future Louis XIV. When her son came of age in 1651, Anne of Austria’s political power faded into the background, but the queen, always surrounded by Spanish priests and religious, maintained close ties with Spain, especially with her father, Philip III. On her death, her considerable estate was inherited by her granddaughter, the future Queen consort of Spain, Maria Luisa of Orleans. The documentary shows in detail numerous events in his biography, such as his conflicts with Richelieu and his marriage strategies in favour of his son.
