Constance of Arles 99 and unknown French queen 100

Constance of Arles 99 and unknown French queen 100. Constance of Arles, 986-1034, or Constance of Provence, was the third wife and queen of King Robert II of France. She wears a veil that covers hair, neck and bosom like a wimple. The tunic of the Franks extended from the neck and fell to the feet. The queens of the first and second race wore richly embroidered belts, whose ends fell very low.
