Anne's father recognized his daughter's intelligence and managed to secure a spot for her in the court of Archduchess Margaret, Regent of the Netherlands in Brabant (in modern-day Belgium). At the age of 12 or 13, Anne was sent away to Brabant to learn French and other skills desirable in court life. Almost two years later, she would join the court of Henry's sister, Mary, now the Queen of France.
