Pop-up Pedigree

Father   Count Charles Constantine de Vienne3,4 b. circa 901, d. January 961/62
Mother   Teutberge de Troyes3 b. circa 900, d. after 960

Birth* circa 915 Another view of her parentage: For Constantia, I have already treated of her family in ‘Nos Ancetres de l’Antiquite’. To sum up : The name Constantia does not appear in comital aristocracy before this woman, a countess of Arles, in Provence. It is so very suggestive that at the time of her birth, the chief of the regnant family in Provence was named Charles Constantine. Moreover, the granddaughter of this Constantia, the queen Constantia, have attested relationship with kindred of Charles Constantine. The conclusion that Constantia was the daughter (or sister) of Constantine was made independently by M. Chaume, J. Berge and J.-P Poly. Charles Constantine is the son of an emperor, and was named after the first occidental (frankish) emperor, Charlemagne, and the first oriental (Byzantine) emperor, Constantine the Great. He claimed evidently descent from both frankish and byzantine imperial ancestry. Precisely, we know that sometime before 911, the byzantine emperor Leon VI had given his only daughter to a frankish prince, cousin of Bertha of Tuscia and misfortuned. That is far good for the frankish emperor Louis III, second cousin of Bertha, blinded in 905, father of Charles Constantine. Fine analysis has showed that the chronology fits very well. So, on both cases, no certitude, but good presumptions. SETTIPANI 5,6
