Claim
the infant princess Constance of Antioch
Correction
Constance was not an infant when she married Raymond of Poitiers. Standard reference works date her birth to 1128 and the marriage to 1136, making her about eight or nine years old.
Full reasoning
This phrase gets Constance's age wrong. Reference works date Constance of Antioch's birth to 1128 and state that Raymond married her in 1136. That means she was roughly eight or nine years old at the time of the marriage.
She was certainly still a child, but not an infant. Calling her an "infant princess" is therefore factually inaccurate.
