Anne, Countess of Salisbury, was a prominent figure in the English nobility during the late 15th century. Born around 1465, she was the daughter of Richard Plantagenet, 3rd Duke of York and Cecily Neville. Anne married Thomas Montagu, 4th Earl of Salisbury, which solidified her status in the royal court. As a member of the Yorkist family, Anne played a role in the turbulent politics of her time, particularly during the Wars of the Roses. She had several children, including Edward Montagu, who continued the family legacy. Anne's life reflects the complexities of noble lineage and political alliances in medieval England.
