Anna Maria of Swabia (German: Anna Maria von Schwaben) (1003 - 1055) was the wife of King Matthias I of Arendaal and thus the Queen Consort of Arendaal between 1018 and 1036. The marriage was a decisive event in the Christianization of Arendaal: although the religion had been gaining ground in the country over the past century, it was Matthias I who declared the nation a Christian Kingdom in 1020. The event was precipitated by a desire on the part of Aren Kings to ally themselves to Christian states. As part of his alliance with the Holy Germanic Empire, Matthias I swore to "baptised his realm". The marriage to the daughter of the Emperor sealed this pact (although it took place two years before the official declaration and "mass baptism" that became the iconic inaugural event in Arendaal's Christianization.
