Constance de Castelbajac (1859–1886) was a French aristocrat and diarist. [1] She served as the Marchioness of Castelbajac. [1]
In her diary, she argued that Jewish women who converted to Christianity upon marrying remained Jewish. [2] Furthermore, she disapproved of such inter-faith marriages. [3] Professor Catherine Nicault of the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne has argued that Castelbajac's views exemplified the way the French aristocracy was hostile towards Jews in the 19th century, who they viewed as parvenus.
