Queen Philippa of Hainault and Alice Perrers, the daughter of a goldsmith, were worlds apart but joined by one thing: their love of King Edward III of England. Learn about their lives and how these two women navigated court and public opinion to wield power in the medieval world.
Gemma Hollman is a historian and author who specialises in late medieval English history. A Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, she has a particular interest in the plethora of strong, intriguing and complicated women from the medieval period, a time she had always been taught was dominated by men. Gemma also works full-time in the heritage industry whilst running her historical blog, Just History Posts, which explores all periods of history in more depth.
