Anne was less than a year older than Richard, and though some chroniclers mentioned her beauty, her effigy reveals her to have been a rather plain young woman.
Though Anne only rarely entered the political stage, it is believed she probably tried to help him curb his temper and was also instrumental in persuading him to think twice about rash decisions made while he was angry.
Even had Anne, with her tempering influence, lived, it is still quite conceivable that he would have blundered politically and left Anne a grieving widow.

 Vernacularity: The Politics of Language and Style   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-11)
A major, albeit much neglected, figure who mediates between the flourishing of late fourteenth- century English vernacular culture (literature,painting, architecture) and its continental counterpart was Anne of Bohemia, wife of Richard II and daughter of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV.
He proceeds to explore, with close and detailed reference to the queen's Bohemian cultural background, how Anne's influence on Chaucer, the Pearl-Poet, Wyclif and the court artists of Richard II complicates these oppositions and, in so doing, challenges the received interpretation of her impact on English religious and cultural life.
Thomas concludes that the role played by Queen Anne in the growth of vernacularity mediates between the historical status of late medieval women and the subjective response they evoke in the imaginary world of their male contemporaries.
