Their daughter Adelaide of Holland married John I of Avesnes, Count of Hainaut, Philippa's paternal great-grandfather.

Philippa was also a descendant of Harold II of England through his daughter Gytha of Wessex, married to Vladimir II Monomakh of Kiev. His bloodline, however, had been reintroduced to the English royal family by Philippa's mother-in-law, Isabella of France, a granddaughter of Isabella of Aragon, the wife of Philip III of France. Isabella of Aragon's mother, Violant of Hungary, was a daughter of Andrew II of Hungary, a grandson of Géza II by Euphrosyne of Kiev, herself a granddaughter of Gytha. Through her maternal great-grandmother, Maria of Hungary, she was descended from Elisabeth of Bosnia (born before 1241), a daughter of Kuthen, Khan of the Cumens and his Slavic wife, Galicie of Halicz, thus bringing Western Asian blood into the English royal line.

The Queen's College, Oxford is named after Philippa. It was founded by one of her chaplains, Robert de Eglesfield, in her honour.

dau. of Count William of Hainaut and Holland. (CP II 153, V 736; CCN 353; DNB. Generations 23-30; Cross xv-xvi; Thacher 324; CME).

Philippa [Philippa of Hainault] (1310x15?-1369), queen of England, consort of Edward III, was born in Hainault, probably at Valenciennes, the daughter of Count William the Good of Hainault and Holland (d. 1337) and Countess Jeanne (d. 1342), granddaughter of Philippe III of France. Her date of birth is not entirely certain, owing to the imprecision of the records as to the order in which she and her sisters were born. Philippa may have been born on 24 June 1310, but it is also possible that she was not born until 1315. Of her sisters, Margaret was the wife of the Emperor Ludwig of Bavaria, and Joanna married William, marquess of Juliers; her brother succeeded his father as Count William (IV) (1337-45).

Marriage to Edward III

A diplomatic report (probably dating from 1319) inserted in the register of Bishop Stapledon of Exeter describes a young daughter of the count of Hainault in candid detail. This may refer to Philippa, and several points tally with visual representations of the queen: her face was well proportioned, with a broad and prominent forehead, the head narrowing at eyes and chin, with a straight, broad-based nose, wide mouth, and an upper lip fuller than the lower. The realistic effigy on her tomb, commissioned in 1367, two years before her death, shows a general thickening of face and figure in later life.

A marriage alliance with Hainault was an essential part of Queen Isabella's strategy to oust her husband, Edward II, and place their son (the future Edward III (1312-1377)) upon the throne. This entailed military aid from Philippa's uncle, John of Hainault, lord of Beaumont, and the active collaboration of the count. Philippa's mother, Jeanne de Valois, countess of Hainault, was first cousin to Queen Isabella. Negotiations for a marriage between Edward and Philippa's eldest sister in 1320-21 came to nothing. Edward and Philippa met in Paris in December 1325, when a visit of Jeanne de Valois and her daughter coincided with that of Edward and Isabella. A marriage contract, with strict terms for non-compliance and conditional upon papal dispensation, was drawn up on 27 August 1326 at Mons in Hainault, despite opposition from Edward II and his council; the Hainault court, with Isabella and Edward, celebrated the alliance in various towns in Holland. Isabella swore (on behalf of her son) to provide Philippa with an appropriate dowry, and that the marriage would take place within two years. Negotiations for papal dispensation for the marriage (Philippa and Edward were related within the third degree of consanguinity) were in train from March 1327, and this was granted on 30 August 1327.

Provided for by her father in a manner befitting her position as future queen of England, Philippa participated in a proxy marriage ceremony performed by Roger Northburgh, bishop of Coventry and Lichfield, who had been sent by Edward (who was now king, following his father's deposition at the beginning of the year) on 8 October 1327 for this purpose and to confirm the terms of her dowry. The arrival of the English contingent on 2 November marked the beginning of lavish espousal ceremonies. Bartholomew Burghersh, constable of Dover Castle, and William Clinton were then commissioned (28 November) to accompany Philippa to England. Leaving Valenciennes on 2 December with an escort of Hainault notables, who included the young Walter Mauny and Jean Bernier, provost of Valenciennes, Philippa embarked at Wissant on 16 December for Dover, reaching London by 22 December, where she was enthusiastically received by clergy and people. After Christmas Philippa left for York, where she married Edward III on 24 January 1328. On 15 May Edward confirmed his promise relating to her dowry and settled 15,000 livres tournois on her, together with lands and annuities given to some members of her entourage.

Apart from the all-important need to secure the succession through the provision of an heir, Edward III's marriage to Philippa served three main functions. Most immediately, this manifestation of continental support-from a principality playing an increasingly important role in Europe independently of France-consolidated his vulnerable position upon the throne; then it provided military support against the Scots-a substantial contingent of Hainaulters, under Philippa's uncle, John of Hainault, served in the Stanhope Park campaign of 1327; and finally, in the longer term, it furnished an important point of access, through the connections made by the marriage, to a number of princes and lords of imperial allegiance in the Low Countries. However, it was only on 25 February 1330 that Philippa was crowned in Westminster Abbey. It has been suggested that the coronation was intentionally delayed by Isabella and Roger Mortimer: whatever the case, the issue is likely to have been forced by Philippa's pregnancy. She gave birth to their first child, Edward (later called the Black Prince), on 15 June 1330.

Problems and functions of queenship

Until the downfall of Isabella and Mortimer in October 1330, Philippa was clearly underendowed with lands and revenues, but the problem seems to have continued into the 1360s. In January 1331 dower lands to the value of 4000 were assigned to her, some of which had formerly been held by Queen Isabella. They included Pontefract, Knaresborough, Tickhill, and High Peak. A continuous series of further grants was made over the next three decades, including the town of Bristol and lands in Essex (among them the royal manor of Havering atte Bower, one of her favourite residences, conveniently close to London and well placed for hunting in royal forests). Despite these increases (ultimately amounting to an annual income in excess of 7000), Philippa's finances seem always to have shown a deficit. Considerable sums were lost through the negligence of her officials, an unexceptional state of affairs for the period. The situation was eventually stabilized and then gradually improved by the queen's appointment (confirmed by the king) of the energetic Richard Ravenser as her receiver in June 1359. In May 1360 it was decided to merge her household with the king's. Her debts by this time were so great, however, that for six years after 1362 all her annual income from her dower lands (other than 4000 marks reserved for personal chamber expenses) had to be devoted to the settlement of household debts incurred before 1360.

>From the very beginning of her life in England Philippa was concerned with the exercise of the royal prerogative of mercy, in 1328 securing a pardon for an eleven-year-old girl who had been convicted of a robbery at Bishopthorpe, York. In 1333 a pregnant woman who had stolen a surcoat and 3s. at York was pardoned at the queen's request. This pattern continued throughout her life: in March 1365 at Nottingham, for example, a pregnant woman condemned to be hanged for stealing was shown clemency at her entreaty. She displayed a similarly constant solicitude for those in her family and household circles, for instance with a stream of petitions to the pope requesting indulgences or promotion for members of her chapel and household, and for one of her godsons (her godchildren appear to have been numerous). Immediately after her death a series of detailed instructions, designed to ensure the continuing welfare of her servants, was carried out by the king, suggesting the same concern for individuals.

In 1331 Philippa had narrowly escaped when the stand from which she and her ladies were viewing a tournament at Cheapside in London collapsed. Her intervention on this occasion with the king on behalf of the negligent carpenters once more shows her acting as intercessor, a role that features prominently in chroniclers' accounts of her personality and made a marked contribution to her popularity-most notably in the famous episode of the burghers of Calais, after the siege of the town in 1347, when though far advanced in pregnancy she is said to have persuaded the reluctant Edward to spare the lives of six principal bourgeois.

Political involvement

In the 1330s and 1340s Philippa's itinerary is characterized by her accompanying Edward III on his expeditions to Scotland, and also to the Low Countries during the early campaigns of the Hundred Years' War. Thus she is reported to have been at Bamburgh in Northumberland in the winter of 1335, while in 1338 the king gave her 564 3s. 4d. from the customs in the port of London for horses, dress, plate, and jewels for her imminent passage with him to Brabant. After their arrival in the Low Countries, Philippa remained at Antwerp while Edward continued on to Koblenz, and she gave birth to their third son, Lionel, at the abbey of St Michael on 29 November. Similarly, in March 1340, she remained at Ghent for the birth of John of Gaunt, returning to England in November 1340. Ten years later, on 29 August 1350, according to Froissart, she was at Winchelsea while the king and her two eldest sons went to sea from that port for the battle of 'les Espagnols sur mer'.

Just as Philippa's connections gave Edward an entry point to northern France and the Low Countries, so she provided supporters of the French cause with a channel through which they could hope to exert influence upon the English king. In the early 1340s, for instance, there was an exchange of envoys bearing verbal messages as well as letters between Philippa and the pro-French Pope Clement VI, with whom she may have become acquainted at the French court. She sent Clement a gift of a 'ring set with precious diamonds' (CEPR letters, 1342-62, 3), no doubt in an attempt to make the pope more favourably disposed to Edward's activities.

It was uncommon for an English king and queen to spend as much time together as Edward and Philippa did, and their forty-year-long marriage may have been more than usually companionate. They enjoyed hunting together, and at home she is normally recorded as present with the king and court at the principal feasts of the liturgical year, and at the tournaments and celebrations that accompanied them, as well as those which formed part of the festivities surrounding her own churchings after childbirth.

Philippa's brother William was injured in such a tournament at Eltham during a visit in 1342. After his death without issue in 1345, Edward pursued claims in Hainault, Holland, and Zeeland on Philippa's behalf. Although the estates of Hainault and Holland were to rule against Philippa's claims (maintaining the indivisible sovereignty of the territories), Edward III continued to uphold her interest. A further crisis was provoked by the insanity in 1358 of Philippa's nephew, the Wittelsbach William (V), count of Hainault, whose wife, Maud, was the eldest daughter of the duke of Lancaster. Edward III's formal renewal of his claims on Philippa's behalf threatened to destabilize the whole balance of power in the Low Countries; Hainault itself was split on the issue at almost every social level. In June 1361 Maud visited England: although her exact intentions are unknown, she probably sought English support to counterbalance the power of the regent of Hainault, William (V)'s brother Albrecht of Bavaria. It is clear that Maud remained in close personal contact with Philippa at this period of crisis.

Maud's death in April 1362 threw Philippa's claims into sharper focus. Already in February 1362 Edward had given his envoys full power to treat with the count of Flanders over a projected marriage between his fifth son, Edmund of Langley, and the count's daughter, Margaret: Edmund would bring to the marriage the considerable lure of Philippa's rights to Hainault, Holland, and Zeeland. Critical diplomatic negotiations were in progress between April and August 1364, and a contract dated early October set out the terms of this projected marriage. Philippa's continuing network of contacts in Hainault facilitated Edward's attempt to construct a web of dynastic alliances (not unlike the network of loyalties he had attempted to forge in the Low Countries earlier in the reign in support of his claims to France) and also enabled him to identify the rival, pro-French, faction (led by Albrecht's right-hand man, Jean de Werchin, hereditary seneschal of Hainault) which was to undermine and ultimately defeat his plans. It was perhaps typical of Philippa that she appears to have been entirely ready to renounce her personal claims in favour of one of her sons. She would appear to have supported Edward III in ensuring, as far as possible, an equitable balance of power (and lands) among their numerous sons.

Royal family matters

Grants made by the queen from 1365 onwards refer to the possibility of her dying before the grantee, suggesting that the condition from which Philippa was eventually to die may first have been evident at this date. In 1367 the king named his new castle and town in the Isle of Sheppey, Kent, Queenborough in her honour. Her failing health must have given greater urgency to Edward's prosecution of the claims to her continental inheritance. The outcome was by no means certain: both Edward of Gueldres and Philippa's nephew the marquess of Juliers supported English rights, and in October 1367 Albrecht of Bavaria made an impressive two-week-long visit to England (described in detail by Froissart), where he was showered with presents and lavish hospitality by Edward and Philippa and their children at Windsor, in an apparent attempt to outbid the influence of the king of France. In June 1371, two years after Philippa's death, Edward relinquished her claims, in terms that may echo Philippa's own benign attitude: 'so that love and affection may be fostered in time to come between us and our cousins, their heirs, and their lands' (Quicke, 172, n. 129).

Philippa probably gave birth to twelve children (seven sons and five daughters), of whom five died in childhood and five outlived her, among them Isabella, countess of Bedford, and Thomas of Woodstock, duke of Gloucester. The few glimpses there are suggest a happy relationship with her children that continued when they were adult-gambling with Edward the Black Prince, for instance, and giving a handsome present in March 1362 to his wife, Joan of Kent, with no suggestion of disapproval for their somewhat unorthodox marriage. She seems to have been altogether a woman of warm and stable character to whom credit should be given for the remarkable absence of squabbles among her grown-up sons, and for the easy integration of her Hainault followers, men such as Sir Walter Mauny and the d'Aubrechicourts, into English knightly and aristocratic circles. Her household did not attract the criticism of foreigners that attended other queens before and after her who came from overseas.

Cultural interests and patronage

Like other women in the Hainault courtly milieu from which she came, Philippa evidently possessed literary interests: the poet-minstrel Jehan de le Mote dedicated to Philippa his verse lament of 1339 on the death of her father (Li regret Guillaume), and he also performed before the English court. On his arrival in England in 1362 the young Jean Froissart presented a rhymed chronicle to the queen; she also patronized his lyric poetry, and under her auspices he made the journeys around the British Isles which provided him with the raw material for both the lengthy verse romance Meliador and his Chroniques. His devotion to the queen's memory (he wrote a lament on her death) has substantially influenced much subsequent writing. Something of Philippa's diverse literary background is reflected in the ewer she gave Edward III as a new year gift in 1333, described as enamelled with a range of figures from epic and romance. The richly illuminated manuscript compilation (Paris, Bibliotheque Nationale, MS fr. 571) commissioned as a wedding gift and containing Brunetto Latini's Tresor and a French translation of De secretis secretorum, as well as Raoul le Petit's romance, Fauveyn, is an indication of Philippa's high artistic expectations. The same cultural links led her to commission an innovatorily realistic tomb sculpture at the end of her life from the Brabancon Jean de Liege, who was also active at the French royal court. Two illuminated psalters (London, Dr William's Library, MS Anc. 6; BL, MS Harley 2899), bearing the arms of England and Hainault, apparently indicating her ownership, have also survived. A more modest example of cultural dissemination through Philippa's agency is to be found in a short treatise on the medicinal virtues of rosemary, supposedly sent to her by her mother in 1338.

Philippa seems also to have had a reputation for fostering learning, which would be entirely in keeping with the long tradition of literary interests at the Hainault court. In 1334, for instance, the chancellor and masters of Oxford University petitioned her for support against the would-be secessionist establishment at Stamford, and alluded to previous instances of her favour. In 1341 her clerk Robert Eglesfield founded Aulam Regine de Oxoni (now the Queen's College, Oxford), but granted its advocacio (patronage) to Philippa, in the hope-as he says in the college statutes-of a better and more secure foundation. She used her influence actively on the college's behalf, especially after Eglesfield's death in May 1349, referring to it as 'our foundation'. Other benefactions advanced the expansion of the hospital of St Katharine, near the Tower of London, and the collegiate chapel of St Stephen, Westminster. Her alms-giving reflected the court devotion of the period. A vow to go on pilgrimage overseas was fulfilled by proxy in 1344.

Appearance, death, and reputation

Edward III's redecoration of St Stephen's Chapel, Westminster, included wall-paintings (preserved only in later drawings) which incorporated members of his own family as donor figures. Philippa and her daughters appeared on the south side of the altar wall. There is a full-length wooden effigy of Philippa in Queen's College, Oxford. First documented in 1658-9, this has yet to be scientifically dated; however, it is not a copy of her tomb effigy, and depicts a younger woman whose features may correspond with the Stapledon description. The original college seal also has a full-length figure of the younger queen.

Philippa died at Windsor Castle shortly before 14 August 1369. Her funeral took place at Westminster Abbey in the following January, with the exequies commencing at Windsor on 3 January and ending at Westminster six days later, a period that spanned the anniversary of her marriage; her anniversarium (year's mind) was formally observed by the court at Westminster. She was buried on the south side of the Confessor's chapel, Westminster Abbey, in a tomb chest decorated with thirty-two small figures and her own recumbent effigy. Queen Philippa appears to have been widely admired in her adopted country. To the censorious Walsingham, for instance, she was 'a most noble woman and most constant lover of the English' (Historia Anglicana, 1.309). Her long and fertile marriage to Edward III was an important factor in the preservation of stability and continuity in England for much of the fourteenth century.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Philippa of Hainault (~1314 - August 15, 1369) was the Queen consortof Edward III of England.

Philippa was born in Flanders (modern Belgium) and was the daughter ofWilliam III, Count of Hainaut and Jeanne de Valois, the grandaughterof Philip III of France. She married Edward at York Minster, onOctober, 1327, nine months after his accession to the English throneand, unlike many of her predecessors, she did not alienate the Englishpeople by retaining her foreign retinue upon her marriage or bringinglarge amounts of foreigners to the English court.

Philippa accompanied Edward on his expeditions to Scotland (1333) andFlanders (1338-40), where she won acclaim for her gentleness andcompassion. She is also remembered by history as the tender-heartedwoman, who interceded with her husband and persuaded him to spare thelives of the Burghers of Calais whom he had planned to execute as anexample to the townspeople.

Philippa and Edward had thirteen children, including five sons wholived into adulthood and whose rivalry would eventually bring aboutthe long-running civil wars known as the Wars of the Roses. Their sonsare listed below:

Edward the Black Prince
Lionel of Antwerp
John of Gaunt
Edmund of Langley
Thomas of Woodstock
They also had several daughters.

Philippa died of dropsy in Windsor Castle, and was buried atWestminster Abbey.

Philippa of Hainault was first considered as a possible bride for the future Edward III when she was only eight. Bishop Stapeldon of Exeter was sent to inspect her on behalf of Edward's parents and reported back in minute detail:
The lady...has not uncomely hair, betwixt
blue-black and brown. Her head is clean-shaped;
her forehead high and broad, and standing somewhat forward. Her face narrows between the eyes, and the
lower part of her face is still more narrow and slender
than the forehead. Her eyes are blackish -brown and
deep. Her nose is fairly smooth and even, save that
it is somewhat broad at the tip and flattened, yet it is
no snub-nose. Her nostrils are also broad, her mouth
fairly wide. Her teeth which have fallen and grown
again are white enough, but the rest are not so white.
The lower teeth project a little beyond the upper; yet
this is but little seen. Her ears and chin are comely enough. Her neck, shoulders, and all her body and lower limbs are reasonably well shapen; all her limbs
are well set and un maimed; and nought is amiss so far
as a man may see. Moreover, she is of brown skin all
over, and much like her father; and in all things she is pleasant enough, as it seems to us.The bishop goes on to add that she was 'neither too tall nor too short' for her age, and that she was 'offair carriage, and well taught in all that becometh her rank.'
Edward was able to check the truth this report for himself when he and his mother were guests at the Court of Hainault in 1326. Philippa was then fifteen and Edward fourteen. Evidently he liked what he found and after a papal dispensation for the marriage ( the couple being second cousins) had been sought and obtained from Avignon in September 1327, Philippa set out for England arriving in London two days before Christmas. Edward was in the north with his army and Philippa, with a large suite in attendance, rode to meet him. The marriage took place in York Minster on 24 January 1328. They dallied in York until after Easter, then moved south to the royal manor of Woodstock, which was to become Philippa's favorite residence and the birthplace of four of her twelve children. The Queen's coronation at Westminster was delayed until March 1330, only three months before Philippa gave birth to her first child, the Black Prince. She chose to feed the baby herself going against the current fashion for wet-nurses.
Like other medieval queens, Philippa accompanied her husband on his campaigns and the birthplaces of her children testify that she was not to be deterred by pregnancy. She had a kindly nature and was able to restrain her husband and eldest son on many occasions when their tempers got the better of them. She interceded for the lives of the carpenters whose stand collapsed at the great tournamentin Cheapside held to celebrate the birth of the Black Prince and later, in an episode celebrated as a subject for pictures and statues, pleaded successfully for the lives of the six burghers of Calais who came to surrender the town to Edward III.
The Queen's great amiability gained her a popularity not enjoyed by any of her predecessors. Her homely features and comfortable motherly figure are well apparent in Maste Hennequin of Liege's fine alabaster effigy on her tomb in Westminster Abbey. A lively carving of the younger Philippa, wearing an elaborate crown, is to be seen on one of the misericordes in the Chapel of the Royal Foundationof St Katherine in east London.
Philippa died in her late fifties of 'a dropsical malady' which had afflicted her for about two years. Froissart describes her deathbed, with her hand in that of the King, and her youngest son Thomas, a boy of fourteen, standing by her bed.
Queen's College, Oxford was founded in Philippa's honor by her chaplain Robert d'Eglesfield and established by Royal Charter in 1341.
Agnes Strickland, ever one to point a moral, ends her life of Philippa with this paragraph:
The close observer of history will not fail to notice
that with the life of Queen Philippa the happiness,
the good fortune, and even the respectability of
Edward III and his family departed; and scenes of
strife, sorrow and folly distracted the court where she
had once promoted virtue, and presided with
well-regulated magnificence.

Philippa av Hainaut (født ca. 1314, død 15. august 1369 var Edvard III av Englands dronninggemalinne.

Hun ble født i Valencienne i Flandern (i dag i Frankrike), og var datter av Guillaume I av Hainaut og Jeanne av Valois som var et barnebarn av Filip III av Frankrike.

Noen kilder forteller at Philippa var av afrikansk herkomst. Det finnes ingen beviser for dette, og det ser ut til at det er basert på en beskrivelse av hennes ansikt i én samtidig kilde samt at en av hennes sønner var kjent som Edward, den svarte prinsen. I og med at hans kallenavn etter alt å dømme skyldte at han bar svart rustning virker dette ikke sannsynlig at hun var av noe annet enn europeisk avstamning.

Philippa giftet seg med Edvard III i York Minster den 24. januar 1328, elleve måneder etter at han ble kronet. I motsetning til flere tidligere dronninggemalinner valgte hun å ikke ta meg seg sitt eget hoff til England. Dette gjorde henne populær, fordi mange var skeptiske til at utlendinger fikk for mye å si ved hoffet.

Hun var med sin mann på reiser til Skottland i 1333 og Flandern i 1338-1340, og ble der kjent og hyllet for å være mild og medfølende. Hun regnes som en bløthjertet kvinne, på en god måte, som grep inn overfor sin mann og overtalte ham til å redde borgerne fra Calais som kongen ville henrette for å statuere et eksempel. Mens Edvard var på kontinentet fungerte hun ved flere tilfeller som regent.

Barn
Philippa og Edvard fikk fjorten barn. Tre sønner og to døtre døde som barn. De som overlevde barneårene var:

Edward, den svarte prinsen (1330-1376)
Isabella av England (1332-1379)
Joan av England (1333?-1348)
Lionel av Antwerpen, hertug av Clarence (1338-1368)
John av Gaunt, hertug av Lancaster (1340-1399)
Edmund av Langley, hertug av York (1341-1402)
Mary Plantagenet (1344-1362)
Margaret Plantagenet (1346-1361)
Thomas av Woodstock, hertug av Gloucester (1355-1397)
Philippa døde på Windsor Castle. Dødsårsaken er angitt som ødem, som dengang ble regnet som en egen sykdom. Man vet derfor ikke hva som var den bakenforliggende årsaken. Hun ble gravlagt i Westminster Abbey.

Queen's College i Oxford ble opprettet av en av hennes kapellaner, Robert de Eglesfield, til ære for Philippa.

Philippa's father was William the Good, graaf van Hainaut (in modernBelgium) and Holland, and her mother, Jeanne de Valois, was thegranddaughter of King Philip III of France. She was married to Edward inOctober 1327, nine months after he ascended the throne. Accompanying himon his expeditions to Scotland (1333) and Flanders (1338/40), she wonuniversal respect for her gentleness and compassion. In 1347 sheinterceded and saved the lives of six burghers of Calais, France, whomEdward had threatened to execute. Unlike earlier foreign queens ofEngland, she did not alienate the
English barons by bringing large numbers of her countrymen to the royalcourt.
She was patron to the Hainauter chronicler Jean Froissart, who servedas her secretary from 1361 until her death. Queen's College, OxfordUniversity, was founded by her chaplain and named for her.
