  3. These people from Which get everywhere.

  4. Alice Perrers (1348 - 1400) was notorious as the mistress of King Edward III of England. She married William of Windsor, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and was lady-in-waiting to Queen Philippa. After Philippa's death, Perrers' relationship with Edward became semi-official, though she had probably already had at least one child by him, a son named John.

    Edward lavished extravagant gifts on her, including Philippa's jewelry and the manor of Wendover. At the so-called "Good Parliament" of 1376, Alice was temporarily banished from court but the political winds changed and she was able to return. As Edward III reached the end of his life and retired to Sheen Lodge, Alice advised him to take in tournaments as a form of recuperation.

    Edward III (13 November 1312 – 21 June 1377) was one of the most successful English monarchs of the Middle Ages. Restoring royal authority after the disastrous reign of his father, Edward II, Edward III went on to transform the Kingdom of England into the most efficient military power in Europe. His reign saw vital developments in legislature and government—in particular the evolution of the English parliament—as well as the ravages of the Black Death. He remained on the throne for 50 years; no English monarch had reigned for as long since Henry III, and none would again until George III.
