Constance ("CON-stents") is a female given name most often used in the English or French-speaking worlds. The name itself derives from Latin and means "constant" and other meanings may be "knowledgeable" and "steadfast."
The name itself has many different variations, such as Connie, Constancia, Constanze, Constanza, Konstanze, and perhaps more.
The Council of Constance was an ecumenical council of the Roman Catholic Church, called by the Emperor Sigismund, a supporter of Antipope John XXIII, the pope recently elected at Pisa.
The council was held from November 16, 1414 to April 22, 1418 in Constance.
Jan Hus, summoned to Constance under a letter of indemnity, was condemned by council and burned at the stake notwithstanding on July 6, 1415.
Lake Constance or Lake of Constance (German and Alemannic Bodensee, French Lac de Constance) is a large lake on the Rhine between Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.
Lake Constance was formed by the Rhine Glacier during the ice age.
The Rhine, the Bregenzer Ache, and the Dornbirner Ache carry sediments from the Alps to the lake, thus gradually decreasing the depth of the lake in the southeast.
