Prešeren's mistress, the mother of his
three illegitimate children. She was born into a poor
family, her godmother was Julija Primic's mother. She
was considered to be a beautiful, but an impetuous girl,
who drew the admiration of many men. Prešeren met her
at Blaž Crobath's and began to have romantic feelings
towards her. After she gave birth to their first child,
she had it fostered; this created an unbridgeable gap
in her relationship with the poet, which he was never
able to overcome. His stormy and exhausting relationship
with Ana had an important influence on Prešeren's life.
