Anna Maria Josephine Plochl (6/9 January 1804 – 4 August 1885) was the morganatic wife of Archduke John of Austria.

[4] Archduke John not only kept his word, but he subsequently became a frequent visitor to the postmaster's residence in order to court the commoner.

[4] Archduke John asked his brother, Emperor Francis, for permission to marry her, which was denied.

[3][4][5] However, the great disparity in social rank caused a rift between Archduke John and his family, to the point that the couple was refused entry to court.

[1][3][4][6] Her positive attributes were such that she eventually earned a grudging respect within court circles.
