Philippa of Hainault (Middle French: Philippe de Hainaut; 24 June 1310 (or 1315) 15 August 1369) was Queen of England as the wife and political adviser of King Edward III. She acted as regent in 1346, when her husband was away for the Hundred Years' War. Philippa proved to be the model of a queen and worked tirelessly for the crown, maintaining balance between royal and familial duties admired in tumultuous times. She was widely loved and respected as queen who managed to have a successful marriage with Edward. As the financial demands of the recent Hundred Years' War were enormous, Philippa wisely advised the King to take interest in the nation's commercial expansion as a different method of covering the expenses.[18] She established textile industry at Norwich by encouraging Flemish weavers to settle there and promoted coal industry at Tynedale. 18 chapters and index. 14 illustrations and 1 genealogical fold-out table. Respectable vintage copy. LOC SSE-02
