Note for: Robert* de Holand, ABT 1283 - 7 OCT 1328 Index

Burial:
     Date:   UNKNOWN
     Place:   Grey Friars Church, Preston, Lancashire, England

Individual note:
That this family was of great antiquity in the county of Lancaster is evid ent from the register of Cokersand Abbey, to which religious house so me of its members were benefactors in King John's time. The first pers on of the name of any note was Robert de Holand, who was in the wars of Sc otland, 31st Edward I [1303] and who owed his advancement to his becomi ng secretary to Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, for previously he had been b ut a "poor knight." In the 1st Edward II [1307], he obtained large territo rial grants from the crown, viz., the manors of Melburne, Newton, Osmundes ton, Swarkeston, Chelardeston, Normanton, and Wybeleston, in the coun ty of Derby, and the same year had a military summons to march against t he Scots. In the 8th Edward II [1315], he was first summoned to parliame nt as a baron; and in the 10th and 12th, he was again in the wars of Scotl and, in which latter year he had license to make a castle of his manor hou se of Bagworth, co. Leicester. Upon the insurrection of his old master, Th omas, Earl of Lancaster (15th Edward II), his lordship promised that noble man, to whom he owed his first rise in the world, all the aid in his powe r, but failing to fulfill his engagement, Lancaster was forced to fly nort hwards and was finally taken prisoner at Boroughbridge, when Lord Holand r endered himself to the king at Derby and was sent prisoner to Dover Castl e. For this duplicity he became so odious to the people that, being afterw ards made prisoner a second time, in a wood near Henley Park, toward Winds or, he was beheaded on the nones of October, anno 1328, and his head se nt to Henry, Earl of Lancaster, then at Waltham Cross, co. Essex, by Sir T homas Wyther and some other private friends.

His lordship m. Maud, one of the daus. and co-heirs of Alan le Zouch, of A shby, and had issue, Robert, Thomas, Alan, Otho, Jane, and Mary. Robert, L ord Holand, was s. by his eldest son, Sir Robert Holand, 2nd baron. [Sir B ernard Burke, Dormant and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd., Londo n, 1883, pp. 278-9, Holand, Barons Holand]
