King Richard II of England marries Anne of Bohemia on January 20, 1382 at Westminster Abbey. Anne was the daughter of the Emperor Charles IV of Bohemia; the marriage helped form an alliance with the Holy Roman Empire against France. Anne was crowned Queen on January 22.
They were both only 15 when they marry but the union developed into a deep, affectionate bond. Anne died from the plague in 1394, leading to Richards profound grief at her early death, which led him to demolish Sheen Manor where she died.
