Constance of France

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Constance of France (1078-January 1124/1126) was the daughter of king Philip I of France and Bertha of Holland.

Her mother was repudiated by her father for Bertrade de Montfort. It caused the displeasure of the church and an interdict was placed on France several times.

She married Hugues I de Blois, Comte de Troyes in 1093/1095, but divorced him in 1104 and then married Bohemund I of Antioch, who seemed to have charmed her, in 1106 at Chartres. Bohemund II of Antioch was their son. She was imprisoned at Giovinazzo in (1119) by Grimoald Alferanites, Lord of Bari, until Pope Calixtus II managed to have her released in 1120.
