Constance was Redwall Abbey's Badger Mother during Matthias' time. She was reared in Redwall and she helped greatly during the Summer of the Late Rose; all of Cluny's horde hated and feared her for her courage and strength. She was the one who 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.
When the Abbey was under attack by General Ironbeak in the Summer of the Golden Plain, Constance helped Cornflower in her masquerade as the ghost of Martin the Warrior, providing the deep voice. Constance was also considered leader of the Redwallers during this time of war.
Later, when Matthias, Mattimeo and their companions returned to Redwall, Constance became friends with Orlando the Axe. She taught his daughter Auma all she knew, and later the young badgermaid succeeded her as Badgermother of Redwall Abbey.
[edit] Trivia
Brian Jacques' grandmother was the inspiration for Constance.
