The mother of Constantine the Great, St. Helena Empress lived from the middle of the third century to the beginning of the fourth. She became the wife or concubine (the records are unclear) of Constantius, Constantine’s father, while he was still a soldier; when Constantius became emperor, he divorced her in favor of a new bride of higher social station. But then, when Constantine succeeded Constantius, Constantine, who was always close to her, gave his mother the status of empress, bringing her back to the imperial court.
