Daughter of William I, Count of Hainaut, and French princess Joan of Valois, Philippa was engaged to Edward, Prince of Wales, in 1326 and married him at York Minster on 24 January 1328, months after he took the throne. She pushed Edward III to focus on England's commercial growth and joined him on expeditions to Scotland and France. In 1346 she acted as regent while he fought in the Hundred Years' War, and took part in the Battle of Neville's Cross. A year later she persuaded the King to spare the Burghers of Calais from execution, an act that won her wide regard among the English people. That popularity helped keep the realm stable through decades of rule. She died on 15 August 1369.
