This study examines the incipient cult of St Anne in Valencia during the fifteenth century, using evidence such as census data to show growing interest in the saint and her cult. From a close study of Isabel de Villena's Vita Christi and Joan Roís de Corella's Vida de santa Anna [Life of St Anne], this essay advances the hypothesis that the cult of St Anne in the kingdom centred on St Anne's intervention for wives unable to conceive rather than on her role as a teacher of the Virgin as in other parts of Europe. St Anne's role as a wise woman, evidenced in Valencian iconography, took a very different path. KeywordsCult of St Anne in Valencia; the wise housewife of Proverbs; orality and prayer; girls' names in Valencia in the late fifteenth century Resumen Santa Anna, una mujer con carácter. La huella del culto de santa Anna en el Reino de Valencia Este estudio examina el culto incipiente de santa Anna en la Valencia del siglo xv a través del análisis de algunas evidencias como la onomástica (de los censos y otras fuentes documentales) del Reino para demostrar el creciente interés por la santa y su culto. A partir de un estudio de la Vita Christi de Isabel de Villena y de la Vida de santa Anna de Joan Roís de Corella, se avanza la hipótesis de que el culto de la santa en el reino de Valencia se centraba en su capacidad intercesora para ayudar a las mujeres nobles incapaces de concebir y no en su papel de educadora como sucede en otras partes de Europa. Se sugiere asimismo que se desarrollaba de otra forma completamente distinta el papel de
