Constant was twice married. The d'Aubigné line was continued through Anne Marchant's son, Theodore (1613–1670). The name of d'Aubigné can be found on the rolls of Battle Abbey among the list of knights who fell at The Battle of Hastings.
Others survived the conquest, and are mentioned in Hume's History as champions of Magna Charta. Richelieu had d'Aubigné and his family imprisoned at Niort in 1629 for correspondence with the English. Released in 1639 following the death of Richelieu, the family went to the French West Indies, where d'Aubigné had been made governor of Marie-Galante, though he and his family remained on Martinique. d'Aubigné returned around 1645, nearly destitute, and died in 1647.
