http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/HAINAUT.htm PHILIPPA de Hainaut ([2 5 Jan/early Feb 1314]-Windsor Castle 15 Aug 1369, bur Westminster Abbe y). The question of Philippa´s birth date has been studied by Bert M . Kamp who concluded that she was born "about 1314", bearing in mind t he series of documents quoted above which indicate the earlier negotia tions for the betrothal of her future husband to her oldest sister Mar guerite [Kamp, B. M. ''´De dochters van graaf Willem III, wie volgt o p wie?´'', De Nederlandsche Leeuw CXVIII (May/June 2001), cols. 511-1 5 (information supplied 26 Apr 2010 by Bert M. Kamp in a private emai l to the author)]. The History of Henricus Dapifer de Diessenhoven rec ords that "dominus Ludewicus et rex Anglie et marchio Iuliacensis" ha d married "tres… sorores… fillies comitis Hannonie sive Hollandie " [Henricus Dapifer de Diessenhoven 1316-1361, p. 32]. Froissart recor ds the marriage in "1327" [presumably O.S.] of "li jones rois Edouwars " and "Phelippe de Hainnau" in "l´eglise cathedral, que on dist de Sa int Guillaume", adding that the king was 17 years old and "la joine ro ine sus le point de quatorze ans" [Luce, S. (ed.) (1869) ''Chronique s de J. Froissart'' (Paris) ("Froissart"), Tome I, Livre 1, 39, altern ative text, p. 287]. Assuming that the last passage should be interpre ted as meaning that Philippa was nearly, but not yet, 14 years old, i t would place her birth in late January or early February 1314. Howeve r, the text may not be totally reliable as King Edward would only hav e been 16 years old at the time of the marriage if his birth is correc tly stated as 13 Nov 1312 as shown below. m (Betrothed 1326, by prox y Valenciennes 28 Oct 1327, York Minster 24 Jan 1328) EDWARD III Kin g of England, son of EDWARD II King of England & his wife Isabelle d e France (Windsor Castle 13 Nov 1312-Sheen Palace, near Richmond, Surr ey 21 Jun 1377, bur Westminster Abbey).
