An old engraving of Philippa of Hainault (1310–1369). Philippa was Queen of England, the wife of King Edward III. They married in 1328, some months after Edward's accession to the throne of England. She acted as regent in 1346 when her husband was away for the Hundred Years' War. Phillipa influenced King Edward to take interest in the nation's commercial expansion and often went on expeditions to Scotland and France. She was popular with the English people, which helped maintain peace in England throughout their reign.
