Philippa of Hainault (Middle French: Philippe de Hainaut; 24 June c.1310/15 \endash 15 August 1369) was Queen of England as the wife of King Edward III. Edward promised in 1326 to marry her within the following two years. She was married to Edward, first by proxy, when Edward dispatched the Bishop of Coventry "to marry her in his name" in Valenciennes (second city in importance of the county of Hainaut) in October 1327. The marriage was celebrated formally in York Minster on 24 January 1328, some months after Edward's accession to the throne of England. In August 1328, he also fixed his wife's dower.
Philippa married King Edward III OF ENGLAND, son of King Edward II OF ENGLAND of Carnarvon and Isabelle "Louve de France" DE FRANCE. (King Edward III OF ENGLAND was born on 13 Nov 1312 in Windsor Castle, England and died on 21 Jun 1377 in Sheen Palace, Richmond, England.)
