Blanche is the eighth child of [[Plantagenet-70 | Edward III]], King of England and Philippa of Hainault. [http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/ENGLAND,%20Kings%201066-1603.htm#EdwardIIIdied1377B][http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/HAINAUT.htm#PhilippaHainautdied1369] Her joint tomb with her brother William now stands in St. Edmund's Chapel, Westminster, beside that of another prince, John of Eltham. The joint tomb appears to have been executed as late as 1376 when John Orchard was paid for supplying 'two images of alabaster placed upon a small marble tomb for an infant son and daughter of the Queen.' }
