Geboorte

Anna Jansd. van Schoonhoven is ongeveer in 1427 in Mechelen, Hertogdom Brabant in de Lage Landen (een staat in het Heilige Roomse Rijk) geboren. Dochter van Jan Jansz. van Schoonhoven en Elsa van Diest.

Hertogdom Brabant

Historische context

The region's name is first recorded as the Carolingian shire pagus Bracbatensis, located between the rivers Scheldt and Dijle, from braec "marshy" and bant "region". Upon the 843 Treaty of Verdun it was part of Lotharingia within short-lived Middle Francia, and was ceded to East Francia according to the 880 Treaty of Ribemont.
In 1430 the Duchies of Lower Lotharingia, Brabant and Limburg were inherited by Philip the Good of Burgundy and became part of the Burgundian Netherlands. In 1477 the Duchy of Brabant became part of the House of Habsburg as part of the dowry of Mary of Burgundy. At that time the Duchy extended from Luttre, south of Nivelles to 's Hertogenbosch, with Leuven as the capital city.

Huwelijk

Anna married Gerard I Randerode van der Aa in about 1425 in very likely 's-Hertogenbosch.
