Philippa de Mohun

Philippa De Mohun was the wife of Edward of Norwich, 2nd Duke of York, making her the Duchess of York from her husband's accession to the dukedom in 1402 to his death in 1415. Philippa's birthdate is unknown, though it is believed to have been prior to 1376. She was the daughter of John de Mohun, 2nd Baron Mohun, and Joan Burghersh.

Philippa De Mohun was a twice widowed noblewoman who, prior to her marriage to the Duke of York, had been married to Walter FitzWalter (d. 26 September 1386) and Sir John Golafre (d. 18 November 1396). She had one son, Walter (d. 1432), from her first marriage. Following her last marriage she was known as the Duchess of York, and was styled as Lady of the Isle of Wight on 10 December 1415. She died on 17 July 1431 at Carisbrooke Castle on the Isle of Wight, England and was buried in Westminster Abbey, London, England.
