She was born as the daughter of count William I (III) of Hainault and Holland and countess Jeanne, either in 1310 or in 1315. Froissart’ statement in the ‘Rome’ redaction of Book I (SHF § 39) that she was thirteen years old when she married on 25 January 1328 supports the later of these two dates. Jean le Bel and Froissart state that negotiations for her marriage to king Edward III of England started in 1327, after the Scottish campaign of that year. In reality, there had already been plans for a wedding between the young Edward and a daughter of count William, possibly Philippa, from as early as 1319, and there were negotiations for a marriage between Edward and Philippa’ eldest sister, Margaret in 1320 and 1321. Edward and Philippa first met in 1325 in Paris and were engaged in August 1326, while Queen Isabella and her son Edward were staying in Hainault. On 27 August 1326 Edward signed a promise that he would marry Philippa within two years; Queen Isabella and her supporters, Edmund of Woodstock, earl of Kent and Roger Mortimer, stood sureties. Papal dispensation for the marriage was first refused but then granted on 30 August 1327. Philippa married Edward by procuration in Valenciennes, after which she travelled to England, where she married her husband on 24 January 1328 in York. She was crowned queen of England on 25 February 1330. She died shortly before 14 August 1369.

SHF 1-295syncComment le roy David s’esmeu
contre les Englois, le siege de Calais durant, a tresgrant

d’Escoce mais jusques a maintenant je n’ay eu nulle cause de parler en. Car si
comme cy dessus est contenu les treves qu’ilz prin drent et donnerent par acort l’un a

quant le roy d’Engleterre eut assegié la forte ville de Calais, les Escos s’aviserent qu’ilz feroient guerre aux Englois et
contrevengeroient les grans ennuis qu’ilz leur avoient fais. Car Engleterre estoit maintenant vuidie de gens d’armes pour la cause de ce que le roy en tenoit foison devant Calais. Et si en avoit aussi grant plenté en Bretaigne, en Poitou et en Gascoingne.
A ceste guerre adont et esmouvement rendy grant paine le roy Phelippe de France, qui avoit grans aliances au roy d’Escoce car il vouloit se il pouoit si
ensonnier les Englois que le roy d’Engleterre brisast son siege
de devant Calais et s’en retournast en Engleterre. Et fist
le roy d’Escoce son mandement tout secretement a estre en la
ville de Saint Jehan sur Taye en Escoce, si vindrent la tenir leur parlement les contes, les prelas et les barons d’Escoce et furent tous d’accort que le plus
hastivement qu’ilz pourroient et le plus efforciement aussi, ilz entreroient en Engleterre au léz devers Ro sebourc si fors et si bien pourveuz
comme pour combatre la puissance de tout le remanant d’Engleterre
qui pour le temps de lors estoit ou paÿs. A cel accort furent avec le roytous les barons, chevaliers et escuiers de tout le regne d’Escoce ou il avoit plus de LM combatans que d’uns que d’autres. Et firent leur
assemblee tout quoiement pour plus grever leurs
ennemiz. Et fu adont
priéz et mandéz Jehan des Adultilles, qui gouvernoit les Escos
sauvaiges, lesquelx obeissoient a lui et non a autrui, si vint a ceste armee a IIIM hommes des plus outrageux de son paÿs. Onques
le roy d’Escoce ne les barons de son royaume ne sceurent si secretement faire leur assemblee que ma dame Phelippe, la royne d’Engleterre,
qui se tenoit ou North sur les marches de Ebruich que elle n’en feust toute enformée sy pourvey de remede et escript tantost et pria ses amis et manda tous ceulx du royaume son seigneur. Et pour mieux moustrer que
la besongne estoit sienne, elle se vint tenir en la cité d’Iorch que on dist Ebruich
en la contree de Northombrelant. Quant le roy d’Engleterre passa en France, ilz estoient demouréz en Engleterre le sire
de Persi, le sire de Ros, le sire de Nuefville et le sire de
Montbray, IIII grans barons, pour aidier a garder le paÿs, se il touchoit. Si furent tantost ces seigneurs pourveuz et aviséz
quant ilz sceurent l’esmouve ment des Escos et s’en vindrent a Ebruich devers leur dame, qui les reçut a grant joie. Au mandement
de la dicte royne, qui s’estendoit jusques a Londres et oultre
s’esmeurent grant foison de bonnes gens d’armes et d’archiers qui estoient encore ou
paÿs. Et se prist chascun au plus pres qu’il peut pour estre a celle journee
contre les Escos car celle estoit l’entention de la royne et la
teneur de son mandement que les Escos seroient combatuz. Et chascun pour son honneur se hastast le plus qu’il peust et s’en venist devers le Nuef chastel sur Thim, la ou le mandement se faisoit.
