'[1] She was the elder of two daughters born to Jean III of la Tour d'Auvergne and Jeanne of Bourbon.

On 13 July 1505, she married her first cousin John Stewart, Duke of Albany, the intermittent heir presumptive to the Kingdom of Scotland and its sometime-regent, who lived in France as a sort of exile.

[3] Anne died in 1524 at her castle of Saint-Saturnin,[4] leaving her inheritance (the feudal county of Auvergne) to her niece, Catherine de' Medici (born 1519), daughter of her late younger sister Madeleine and Lorenzo II, Duke of Urbino.

A manuscript detailing Anne's inheritance, with pictures of her castles in Auvergne, and her descent from the legendary Belle Moree, daughter of a Pharaoh, survives in the Royal Library of the Hague.

[6] Anne and the Duke of Albany were painted in a stained-glass window at Vic-le-Comte.
