Philippa was the daughter of William of Hainault, a lord in part of what is now Belgium. When she was nine, the King of England, Edward II, decided that he would marry his son, the future Edward III, to her. Four years later Prince Edward went to visit his bride-to-be and her family, and fell in love with her. She was betrothed to him and in 1327, when she was only 14, she arrived in England. The next year, when she was 15, they married and were crowned King and Queen in 1330 when she was heavily pregnant with her first child at only 17. When she died, Edward never really recovered, and she was much mourned by him and the country. King Edward had a beautiful sculpture made for her tomb which you can see today at Westminster Abbey. (pictured here).
