Sir Walter Mauny came to England in the entourage of Philippa of Hainault and advanced rapidly in Edward III's court. He married Margaret Marshal, Edward III's cousin.
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.

de droite pitié ne qui peust en grant piece parler. Le roy
regarda sur eulx tresireement car il avoit le cuer si espriz de courroux qu’il ne peut
parler. Et quant il peut parler, il commanda que on leur coupast les testes tantost. Tous
les barons et les chevaliers qui la estoient en plourant prioient si a certes que faire
pouoient au roy qu’il en voulsist avoir pitié et mercy mais il n’y vouloit entendre. Adont parla le gentil chevalier messire Gautier de Mauny
et dist : "Haa, gentil sire, vueilliés refrener vostre courage, vous avéz le
nom et la renomme de souveraine gentillesce et noblesce. Or ne vueilliés dont faire
chose par quoy elle soit amenrie ne que on peust parler sur vous en aucune villenie. Se
vous n’aviés pitié de ces gens, tous autres gens diroient que ce seroit grant cruauté, se
vous estiés si dur que vous feissiés mourir ces honnestes bourgois qui de leur
propre voulenté se sont miz en vostre mercy pour sauver les autres." A ce point
grigna le roy et dist : "Messire Gautier, souffréz vous, il ne sera
autrement mais on face venir le decoleur. Ceulx de Calais ont fait mourir tant
de mes hommes qu’il convient ceulx cy mourir aussi." Adont la royne d’Engleterre, qui toute fondoit en lermes, se mist aux piés du roy
disant : "Haa, gentil sire, puis que je trespassay la mer en grant peril, si
comme vous savéz, je ne vous ay riens requiz ne don demandé. Or vous pry je
humblement et requier en propre don que pour le filz sainte Marie et pour l’amour de moy, vous vueilliés avoir de ces VI hommes mercy." Le roy attendy un petit de parler et regarda la bonne dame
sa femme, qui moult estoit encainte et plouroit a genoulx tendrement, si lui
amolia le cuer car moult enviz l’eust courroucee ou point qu’elle estoit. Si dist : "Haa, dame, j’amasse trop mieux que vous feussiés d’autre part que cy vous
me priés si a certes que je ne vous ose escondire. Et comment que je le face enviz,
tenéz, je les vous donne, si en faites vostre plaisir." La bonne dame dist
: "Monseigneur, tresgrant merciz." Et dont se leva la royne et fist lever les VI bourgois et leur fist oster les
chevestres d’entour leurs
colz et les en fist mener avec lui en sa chambre si les fist revestir et donner a disner tout aise. Puis donna a chascun VI nobles et les fist conduire hors de l’ost a sauveté.
SHF 1-313syncLa prise de Calais. Ainsi fu la forte ville de Calais assise par le roy Edouart d’Engleterre, l’an de Grace mil CCC XLVI, environ
la Saint Jehan De colace, ou mois d’aoust. Et fu conquise en l’an mil CCC XLVII en ce meisme mois. Quant le roy d’Engleterre eut
fait sa voulenté des VI bourgois de Calais et il les eut donnéz
a la royne sa femme, il appella messire Gautier de Mauny et ses II mareschaux, le conte de Warvich et le baron de
Stanfort. Si leur dist : "Seigneurs, prenéz ces clefs de la ville
et du chastel de Calais, si en aléz prendre la saisine et possession. Et prenéz tous
les chevaliers qui leans sont, et les mettéz en prison, ou faites leur jurer et fiancier
prison. Ilz sont gentilzhommes, je les croiray bien sur leur foy. Et tous autres soudoiers
qui leans sont venuz pour gaignier leur argent, faites les partir simplement et tout le
demourant de la ville, hommes, femmes et enfans. Car je vueil la ville repeupler de purs Englois." Tout ainsi fu fait comme le roy
le commanda. Les II mareschaux et le sire de Mauny a C hommes seulement s’en vindrent prendre la saisine de Calais. Et firent aler es portes tenir prison monseigneur Jehan de Vianne, monseigneur Jehan de Surie, monseigneur Baudouin de Belle
Bourne et les autres. Et firent les mareschaux d’Engleterre apporter aux
soudoiers toutes armeures et getter en un mont en la halle de Calais. Puis firent toutes manieres de gens, petiz et grans, partir et ne retindrent que III
hommes, un prestre et deux autres anciens hommes bons coustumiers
des loys et or donnances de Calais, pour enseignier les heritages. Aprés
ordonnerent le chastel pour logier le roy et la royne et tous les autres hostelz furent vuidiés et appa reilliés pour recevoir les gens du roy.
Quant tout ce fu fait, on le signifia au roy. Adont monta il a cheval et fist
monter la royne, les barons, les chevaliers et autres pb 115 v
