The concurrent founding of the Abbey of Saint-Étienne to the West of the Caen Castle and the Abbey of Sainte-Trinité (Abbaye aux Dames) to its East seems to be a direct result of the reconciliation process of William, Duke of Normandy (soon after to become William I, King of England), and Pope Leo IX. William fell out with the pope when he married his cousin Matilda of Flanders after 1049 despite Leo's interdiction. Lanfranc of Pavia, Prior of Bec Abbey, who himself had initially expressed concerns regarding the marriage, acted on William's behalf to secure Leo's forgiveness. For this successful service, Lanfranc was made abbot of Saint-Étienne.
William's wife Matilda died in 1083 and was buried in the Abbaye aux Dames. After his own death in 1087 in Rouen, the body of King William was sent to Caen to be buried in Saint-Étienne, according to his wishes.
William's tomb has been disturbed several times since 1087, the first time in 1522 when the grave was opened on orders from the papacy. The intact body was restored to the tomb at that time. In 1562, during the French Wars of Religion, the grave was again opened and the original tombstone of black marble, similar to that of Matilda in the Abbaye aux Dames, was destroyed.

玛蒂尔达的圣特莱尼特修道院(俗称女士修道院)和威廉的圣埃蒂安修道院(俗称男士修道院)分立卡昂城堡的东西两侧。女士修道院的主体建筑现在是下诺曼底地区议会,大教堂则是典型的诺曼式建筑:厚实的石墙、窄小的窗口、半圆形的拱圈以及方形的塔楼。这种建筑样式在法兰西不算多见,但在不列颠却是遍地开花,所以总有建筑阿宅的英国人跑到诺曼底来寻根。
