Can anyone tell me which of Philip's wives was the mother of Thessaloniki?
How old would she have been compared to Alexander? Thanks in advance.

Nicesipolis or Nicasipolis of Pherae (Νικησίπολις), was a Thessalian woman, native of the city Pherae, wife or concubine of king Philip II, but she is likely to have been of noble Thessalian origin and maybe she was a niece of Jason of Pherae.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Info from WikipediA

Thanks. I had the list of wives but couldn't figure out which one she belonged to.
