Filipa de Lencastre, rainha consorte de Portugal

Philippa of Lancaster (Portuguese: Filipa [f%C9%A8%CB%88lip%C9%90]; 31 March 1360 – 19 July 1415) was Queen of Portugal from 1387 until 1415 by marriage to King John I. Born into the royal family of England, her marriage secured the Treaty of Windsor and produced several children who became known as the "Illustrious Generation" in Portugal.

Born on 31 March 1360, Philippa was the oldest child of John of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster and Blanche of Lancaster.

Children

Philippa was apparently a generous and loving queen, the mother of the "Illustrious Generation" (in Portuguese, Ínclita Geração) of infantes (princes) and infantas (princesses). Her children were:[12]

• Blanche (13 July 1388 – 6 March 1389), died in infancy.

• Blanche (11 April 1398 – 27 July 1398), died in infancy.
