Biography

About

Born 24 January 1547 as an Archduchess of Austria, Joanna crossed into Italy through marriage to Francesco I de' Medici, becoming Grand Princess and later Grand Duchess of Tuscany. The union tied Habsburg blood to Florentine power at a moment when both houses were reshaping the continent's balance. Among her children was a daughter, Marie de' Medici, who would become the second wife of King Henry IV of France. Joanna died 11 April 1578, her lineage outlasting her by centuries.
