24 June 1313/15 ✧ Philippa of Hainault was born in Valenciennes in the County of Hainaut as the fourth daughter of William I, Count of Hainaut and Joan of Valois, who was the granddaughter of Philip III of France. In the year of 1328 Philippa married Edward III, King of England and bore thirteen children, through the course of twenty-five years. Nine of the children survived past infancy and five were living sons whose descendants would bring about the long-lasting dynastic wars known as the Wars of the Roses.

Few, if any, Queen-consorts of England have left behind them so noble and distinguished a re- cord as Philippa of Hainault. From the days when she was a schoolgirl at Valenciennes to the hour when she died, a tired woman, at Windsor forty-three years later, she was the good angel of Edward and of England. All the years of her life, and they were fifty-six, she had worked faithfully and untiringly for those dear to her, nor did her labours cease when failing health, sorrow, bereave- ment and disillusion darkened her path. A true Mother of her people, through the most difficult period of history she held the balance even between duty and inclination ; nor did she win the less love because, with all her kindness, she was never weakly indulgent to follies, her own or others’. The few murmurs that rose against her have been mentioned, and in a great measure explain themselves : she was a woman of business, and against such the unbusiness like will ever rebel. – Blanche Christabel Hardy (Philippa of Hainault and Her Times)

"I told Mrs Gardiner I would look after you. I intend to keep my word."

(I think it's a little more than that, Tom. A lot more than just that.)

“Where shall I find a friend, a brother, a father, a spouse, who will love me as much as Thou hast loved me, my Creator, my Redeemer, and my God ? who for the love of me hast spent Thy blood and Thy life; and, not content with that, dost give Thyself entirely to me in this Sacrament of love. I love Thee, then, O my Jesus, with all the affections of my soul; I love Thee more than myself. Oh, help me to love Thee; I ask nothing more of Thee.”

— St. Alphonsus Liguori
