You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Anna Maria Sforza''' (21 July 1476 – 30 November 1497) was Hereditary Princess of Ferrara as the first wife of [[Alfonso I d'Este]], future [[Duke of Ferrara]]. She was the second legitimate daughter of [[Galeazzo Maria Sforza]], [[Dukes of Milan|Duke of Milan]], and his second wife, [[Bona of Savoy]].

==Life==
Born in [[Milan]], she was the second daughter and last legitimate child of Galeazzo Maria Sforza, Duke of Milan, by his second wife, Bona of Savoy. Anna's paternal grandparents were [[Francesco I Sforza]] and [[Bianca Maria Visconti]], for whom she was named. She had two older brothers: [[Gian Galeazzo Sforza]] and [[Hermes Maria Sforza]], Marquis of Tortona, and a sister, [[Bianca Maria Sforza]], second wife of [[Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor]].

When Anna was five months old, her father was assassinated inside the Church of Santo Stefano in Milan on 26 December 1476, which was the [[Feast Day]] of [[St. Stephen]]. He was stabbed to death by three high-ranking officials of the Milanese court.

In 1477, Anna was formally betrothed to [[Alfonso I d'Este]], the heir of [[Ercole I d'Este, Duke of Ferrara]]. Her wedding with Prince Alfonso d'Este took place fourteen years later, on 12 January 1491, amidst banquets, receptions, and theatrical representations. However, the marriage was unhappy: blonde and without femininity, Anna, all her time dressed like a man, refused to consummate her union, preferred the company of women and spent every night with a small black slave.<ref>Geneviève Chastenet: ''Lucrezia Borgia'' (Spanish version) 1995, Javier Vergara Editorial, p. 200. [retrieved 19 December 2014].</ref>((Better source needed|date=November 2016))

Only after six years of marriage, Anna finally became pregnant, but died in childbirth; while some sources reported that her child, a son, died immediately after being baptized; others,<ref>((cite web |last=Marek |first=Miroslav |url=http://genealogy.euweb.cz/welf/welf10.html#A1 |title=Complete Genealogy of the House of Este|publisher=genealogy.euweb.cz |accessdate=17 December 2014))((Self-published source|date=November 2016))</ref>((Better source needed|date=November 2016))<ref>[http://gw.geneanet.org/garric?lang=fr;p=alessandro;n=d+este ''Alessandro d'Este'' in: geneanet.org] [retrieved 17 December 2014].</ref><ref>[http://geneall.net/en/name/378427/alessandro-d-este/ ''Alessandro d'Este'' in: geneall.net] [retrieved 17 December 2014].</ref><ref>[http://wwperson.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/cgi-bin/l1/LANG=germ/INDEX=I114760 ''Alessandro d'Este'' in: Genealogy Database by Herbert Stoyan]  ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141218012803/http://wwperson.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/cgi-bin/l1/LANG%3Dgerm/INDEX%3DI114760 |date=December 18, 2014 )) [retrieved 17 December 2014].</ref> said that he survived and was named Alessandro, dying in 1514 aged 17. She was buried in the monastery of San Vito, of which Anna was a benefactor. Her husband was unable to take part of her funeral because at that time his face was disfigured as a consequence of [[syphilis]].<ref>Sarah Bradford, Lucrezia Borgia, Milano, Mondadori, 2005.</ref>

Her death marked the end of the bond between the [[Sforza]] and [[House of Este|Este]] families. Alfonso remarried, to [[Lucrezia Borgia]], in 1502.
