Philippa of Hainault - England’s Most Beloved Medieval Queen Documentary

Before the Wars of the Roses and the bloody campaigns of the Hundred Years War, one teenager was sold into marriage to fund a revolution. Her name was Philippa of Hainault and she didn’t just survive the cutthroat Plantagenet court; she completely redefined what it meant to rule. While her husband, King Edward III, was overseas fighting France, Philippa didn't just sit back and knit. When a massive Scottish army invaded, she gathered the English troops, rode out on horseback, and rallied them to a legendary victory at the Battle of Neville’s Cross. From staring down an invading army to famously begging for the lives of the doomed Burghers of Calais, Philippa wielded soft power, sharp diplomacy, and absolute ferocity. Why does history ignore the warrior queen who birthed the Black Prince and saved England's greatest dynasty.
