The simple answer is NO! ONE historian said that she MIGHT have had ONE ancestress (hundreds of years before Philippa's birth) who MIGHT have been 'Moorish'...all the rest of her ancestors were European. It is like saying you are Chinese if ONE of your ancestors from 13 generations back was Chinese and all the rest were not. Queen Philippa as the wife of King Edward III is also the ancestress of 80 out of every 100 English men and women alive today (including the millions of others out there of English descent)

When did Philippa of Hainault die?
Philippa of Hainault - (24 June 1314 - 15 August 1369) was the daughter of Willaim Count of Flanders and Joanna de Valois. She became the queen consort of King Edward III of England and became the mother of a large family. There is a totally ridiculous fantasty doing the rounds that she was 'black', based on a spurious description of her which has NO CITATION, in historical records, and the claim put forward by ONE historian that she MIGHT have had ONE Moorish ancestress several hundreds of years before Philippa's birth. Philippa was certainly not beautiful, she appears to have been matronly and round faced with a wide thin lipped mouth and a double chin but she was reported to be kindly and Edward certainly loved her. None of her many sons became king in turn, although her grandsons did. Queen Philippa and her husband King Edward III are the direct lineal ancestors of 80 out of every 100 Englishmen and women alive today.
