Redwall Wiki | Brian Jacques and Redwall Information

Constance was Redwall Abbey's badger mother during Abbot Mortimer and Abbot Mordalfus's time. She helped defend the Abbey during the Summer of the Late Rose. Cluny the Scourge's horde hated and feared her for her courage and strength. Her rivalry with Redtooth, which began when she threw rotten vegetables into the rat's face, ultimately ended with her hurling him into a tree trunk, killing him. She constructed a giant yew crossbow with help from the solitary Beaver. The crossbow was fired at Cheesethief, whom she had mistaken for Cluny the Scourge.

She was thought to be less bright but proved otherwise when her knowledge of the phases of the moon helped Matthias and Methuselah solve several riddles.

When the Abbey was under attack by General Ironbeak during the Summer of the Golden Plain, Constance was considered the leader of the Redwallers during this time of war. She helped Cornflower in her masquerade as the ghost of Martin the Warrior, providing the deep voice, and she rescued Stryk Redkite from Ironbeak's attacking rooks.

Later, when Matthias, Mattimeo, and their companions returned to Redwall, Constance befriended Orlando the Axe. She taught his daughter Auma all that she knew, and later the young badger succeeded her as badger mother of Redwall Abbey.

During the Winter of the Early Snowdrop, Constance and Methuselah repeatedly attempted to locate the Redwall Warrior's Code, however they were unsuccessful.

Constance's Victims[]

Several enemies of Redwall met their doom through crossing paths with Constance.

Trivia[]

  • Brian Jacques' maternal grandmother, Sissy McGinniss, was the inspiration for Constance.
