Part of the Queenship and Power book series (QAP)

Abstract

Philippa of Lancaster was the eldest daughter of John of Gaunt and Blanche, the rich heiress of Henry of Grosmont. She came, therefore, from the interweaving of two noble families—the royal dynasty of Plantagenet, kings of England for several generations and pretenders to the French throne, and the Lancaster, family of the high aristocracy. Her paternal grandparents were the king of England, Edward III, and Philippa of Hainault; and on the maternal side, Henry of Grosmont, earl of Derby, Lancaster, Lincoln, and Leicester and duke of Lancaster, and Isabel of Beaumont.
