Robert III 1st Baron de Holand

Sir Robert de Holand, 1st Lord (Baron) Holand, so created by writ of
summons 29 July 1314 (b. c 1270; in retinue of Thomas, 2nd Earl of
Lancaster (grandson of Henry III), who substantially advanced his career
and with whom he sided (though not apparently without tergiversation) in
the latter's disputes with Edward II, notably at the final battle between
Lancaster and the royal forces at Boroughbridge March 1321/2; after
Boroughbridge his lands were confiscated but were restored him on Edward
III's coming to the throne; knight 1307; Justice of Chester intermittenly
1307-20, Governor of Beeston Castle, Cheshire 1312; served in Scottish
campaigns 1314 and 1316; commissioner of Array of Lancaster 1316; among
his many grants of land was the Manor of Thorpe Waterville, Northants,
which he acquired 1319; he also held land in Pendleton, Lancs, from the
Priory of St Thomas Stafford; decapitated 7 Oct 1328 by followers of his
old leader Lancaster, who not unnaturally resented his less than
whole-hearted support, after being taken in Boreham Wood, Herts)was the son of
Sir Robert de Holand, of Upholland, Lancs (son of Thurstanwas the son of Robert
de Holand), by Elizabeth, daughter and coheir of William Samlesbury.

Sir Robert de Holand of Upholand, co. Lancaster, b. probably c 1270,
executed in Boreham Wood 7 Oct 1328, Lord Holand, MP 1314-1321was the son of
Sir Robert de Holand and Elizabeth de Samlesbury. [Magna Charta Sureties]

--------------------------------------------

That this family was of great antiquity in the county of Lancaster is
evident from the register of Cokersand Abbey, to which religious house
some of its members were benefactors in King John's time. The first
person of the name of any note was Robert de Holand, who was in the wars
of Scotland, 31st Edward I [1303] and who owed his advancement to his
becoming secretary to Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, for previously he had
been but a "poor knight." In the 1st Edward II [1307], he obtained large
territorial grants from the crown, viz., the manors of Melburne, Newton,
Osmundeston, Swarkeston, Chelardeston, Normanton, and Wybeleston, in the
county of Derby, and the same year had a military summons to march
against the Scots. In the 8th Edward II [1315], he was first summoned to
parliament as a baron; and in the 10th and 12th, he was again in the wars
of Scotland, in which latter year he had license to make a castle of his
manor house of Bagworth, co. Leicester. Upon the insurrection of his old
master, Thomas, Earl of Lancaster (15th Edward II), his lordship promised
that nobleman, to whom he owed his first rise in the world, all the aid
in his power, but failing to fulfill his engagement, Lancaster was forced
to fly northwards and was finally taken prisoner at Boroughbridge, when
Lord Holand rendered himself to the king at Derby and was sent prisoner
to Dover Castle. For this duplicity he became so odious to the people
that, being afterwards made prisoner a second time, in a wood near Henley
Park, toward Windsor, he was beheaded on the nones of October, anno 1328,
and his head sent to Henry, Earl of Lancaster, then at Waltham Cross, co.
Essex, by Sir Thomas Wyther and some other private friends.

His lordship m. Maud, one of the daus. and co-heirs of Alan le Zouch, of
Ashby, and had issue, Robert, Thomas, Alan, Otho, Jane, and Mary. Robert,
Lord Holand, was s. by his eldest son, Sir Robert Holand, 2nd baron. [Sir

Maud de Holand

Following copied from Ancestral Roots, at end of line 32.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------

Note concerning the marriage of Sir Thomas de Swynnerton and Maud de
Holand: the fact of this marriage has been questioned in the past as it
appears to rest solely upon the statement in the Savage pedigree in the
Visitation of Cheshire for 1580. Review of printed sources shows that
Robert de Holand and his wife Maud la Zouche did have a daughter named
Maud who was betrothed as a child to John de Mowbray. After the order
for the confiscation of the estates of John's father, John (then aged
about 12), his mother Aline, and Maud, who was living with them, were
taken on 26 Feb 1321/2 to the Tower of London to be received by the
Constable of the Tower, then Roger de Swynnerton, father of Thomas.
Following the imprisonment of Maud's father and the confiscation of his
estates, the marriage of John was granted on 28 Feb 1326/7 to Henry, Earl
of Lancaster, whose daughter Joan was then married to John de Mowbray,
then fifteen years of age. When John came of age, he received a license
to grant a life interest in two Mowbray manors to Maud, then free to
marry. That Maud did marry Thomas de Swynnerton depends upon the sources
for the article "Ancestry of Obadiah and Mary Bruen", TAG 26:12-25 at 21
(1950). In that article Donald Lines Jacobus cited the article by Rev.
Canon Bridgeman, "An Account of the Family of Swynnerton of Swynnerton
and Elsewhere in the County of Stafford", (Wm. Salt Soc., vol VII pt. II,
cit.), which shows that the widow of Thomas de Swynnerton was named Maud
(or Matilda), and that there was formerly in Swynnerton Church an "effigy
of a woman over whom is written, "Matidis de Swynnerton," and a shield
giving the arms of Holand, viz: azure, semee of fleurs-de-lys argent, a
lion rampant guardian argent" (Staffordshire Collection, MS no. 383,
William Salt Library).

Margaret de Holand

Margaretwas the daughter of Sir Robert Holand of West Derby, Co Lancaster.
[Magna Charta Sureties]

Margaretwas the daughter of Sir Robert Holand, first Lord Holand, of Upholland,
Co Lancaster. [Ancestral Roots]

Margaret de Holandwas the daughter of 1st Lord (Baron) de Holand of the 1314
creation. [Burke's Peerage]

Note: I am not absolutely sure that this is the Margaret that married
Marmaduke de Lumley, but the date of marriage (after 1343) would fit. All
people on World Connect have this Margaret married to Marmaduke. Burke's
states that Ralph de Lumley, their son, was born c1360. This is not
possible given Margaret's death date. I have adjusted Ralph's birth to
"bef 1349", which would fit well with Marmaduke's birth date of 1314
(Burke's had 1341, which I think is a misprint because his 1st wife died
1343 and his father died by 1325). If Burke's could screw up Marmaduke's
birth date, they could certainly screw up his son's. On the other hand,
none of the three sources for Margaret mention a second marriage after
John la Warre, so the Margaret who married Marmaduke, could be another
Margaret Holand, who died after 1360.

John de Holand (Sir), of Thorpe Waterville, which, however, he appears to

younger son (Thomas, ancestor of the Hollands of Weare, Devon). [Burke's

Note: Even though they didn't own Thorpe Waterville, this line of the
family stayed there for 3 generations (all named John), according to
Burke's Peerage.
