  Alice Perrers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
She was the wife of a William of Windsor, and was lady-in-waiting to Queen consort Philippa of Hainault.
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.
French chroniclers claimed Alice stripped the rings from Edward's corpse, but this may have been an attempt to discredit Edward's court rather than an accurate rendition of the facts.

 PERRERS, ALICE - LoveToKnow Article on PERRERS, ALICE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Not content with the great influence which she obtained over Edward, Alice interfered in the proceedings of the courts of law to secure sentences in favor of her friends, or of those who had purchased her favor; actions which induced the parliament of 1376 to forbid all women from practising in the law courts.
Alice was banished, but John of Gaunt, duke of Lancaster, allowed her to return to court after the death of Edward the Black Prince in June 1376, and the parliament of 1377 reversed the sentence against her.
Her time, however, was mainly spent in lawsuits, one being with William of Wykeham, bishop of Winchester, and another with her dead husband's nephew and heir, John de Windsor.

Until about 1378, Gaynes remained with the de Havering family, until its acquisition by Alice Perrers (by 1393).
Sir John Deynecourt (a follower of John of Gaunt) held the manor in by 1400, the year that Alice Perrers died; this is a bit confusing because Alice Perrers left "her manor of Upminster" in her will to a young niece.
Overall, these transactions probably represent some legal uncertainty about the true owner of the manor, or, as we would now say, a possible defect in the title, which was resolved by a small compensation to the descendants of Alice Perrers.

 Will and the Law of Property
A comparison of the figure of Mede with the documented life of Alice Perrers demonstrates against the tendency to interpret either the allegorical female figure or a generalized idea of medieval woman as a determinate category.
The ambiguity of Perrers's marital status in her defense against parliament suggests that the distinction between a femme sole and a femme couvert, the latter constituting a form of "civil death," was not always contingent on her relationship to particular men.
Though Perrers may have attained her position of influence at court by becoming a sexual commodity, she was able to transform this symbolic capital into real political power.
