Constance of Normandy (died 1090) was a daughter of William I of England and Matilda of Flanders, it was said she was the most highly gifted of all of the Conqueror's daughters. As she was favourite of her mother she was offered later in marriage to Alan IV of Brittany, the year being 1086. Constance died childless, perhaps poisoned, on 13 August 1090, and was buried in St Melans in Redon (Church of St. Melaine, Redon). In 1672 her tomb was discovered and opened, inside were some fragments of woolen stuff, which at the time the body had been wrapped and a leaden cross with her epitaph engraved with the name of her father, husband and date of death. Her husband later married Ermengarde of Anjou.
