Constance
- 9651. Constance died between 961 and 965. Notes:
Also called Constance of Viennois.
It has been speculated that she was the daughter of one Charles, son of Louis the Blind, Holy Roman Emperor. This Charles is called by many later chroniclers "Charles Constantine," but he was never called that in his lifetime. Also speculative is the idea that this Charles's mother was Anna of Constantinople, daughter of Byzantine emperor Leo VI and his wife Zoe Zaoutzaina, but the idea that the emperor Louis was ever married to this Anna is much in dispute.Family/Spouse: Boso.

Notes:
"The Old." Duke of Burgundy.
"In 1025, with the death of his eldest brother Hugh Magnus, he and Henry rebelled against their father and defeated him, forcing him back to Paris. In 1031, after the death of his father the king, Robert participated in a rebellion against his brother, in which he was supported by his mother, Constance of Arles. Peace was only achieved when Robert was given Burgundy (1032). Throughout his reign, he was little more than a robber baron who had no control over his own vassals, whose estates he often plundered, especially those of the Church. He seized the income of the diocese of Autun and the wine of the canons of Dijon. He burgled the abbey of St-Germain at Auxerre. In 1055, he repudiated his wife, Helie of Semur, and assassinated her brother Joceran and murdered her father, his father-in-law, Lord Dalmace I of Semur, with his own hands. In that same year, the bishop of Langres, Harduoin, refused to dedicate the church of Sennecy so as not "to be exposed to the violence of the duke." [Wikipedia]Robert married Helie of Semur about 1033. Helie (daughter of Dalmas I of Semur and Aremburge de Vergy) was born about 1015; died after 1055 in Priory of the Holy Trinity of Marcigny-lès-Nonnains, Burgundy, France.
