Eboli, Ana de Mendoza de la Cerda, princesa de[A´nA thA mAndO´thA thA lA thAr´dA prEnthA´sA thA A´bOlE] Pronunciation Key, 1540–92, Spanish noblewoman. After the death (1573) of her husband, Ruy GOmez, principe de Eboli, she is supposed by romantic tradition to have had an affair with Antonio PErez. She was certainly involved in political intrigues with him and shared his disgrace after the murder of Juan de Escobedo. She spent the years after 1579 in prison and enforced retirement. She appears in Schiller's Don Carlos.
