Anne Lykke

Anne Lykke (30 April 1595 – 1641) was a Danish noblewoman and royal mistress of Christian, Prince Elect of Denmark.

[1] Anne Henriksdatter Lykke was born into one of Denmark's more prosperous noble families.

Both Johann Tserclaes, Count of Tilly and Albrecht von Wallenstein had occupied the duchies and the whole peninsula of Jutland.

There was also opposition and intervention of powerful people in Denmark, including the king's own mother, Queen Dowager Sophie.

Knud Ulfeldt lost his position of marshal of the court and only after Anne's death in 1641 did he return as Lord Chamberlain.
