Constance d'Arles[1, 2]
Abt 986 - 1032 (~ 46 years)-
Name Constance d'Arles - "Constance, widow of the King of France, was a woman of depraved heart and infamous character; but such was her ascendancy over her husband, that she committed crimes of the blackest dye with impunity." She conspired to have her younger son displace the elder on the throne of their father. Henry fled to Fecamp, enlisting the aid of Robert, Duke of Normany. Robert secured Henry's crown by falling on France with great slaughter. [3]
