    Queen Philippa De Hainault

  • Notes 
    • Philippa OF HAINAUT, consort of King Edward III of England (ruled 1327-77); her popularity helped Edward maintain peace in England during his long reign. She was married to Edward in October 1327, nine months after he ascended the throne. Accompanying him on his expeditions to Scotland (1333) and Flanders (1338-40), she won universal respect for her gentleness and compassion. In 1347 she interceded and saved the lives of six burghers of Calais, Fr., whom Edward had threatenedto execute. Unlike earlier foreign queens of England, she did not alienate the English barons by bringing large numbers of her countrymen to the royal court.
