Thomas Holland, 1st Earl of Kent

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thomas Holland, 1st Earl of Kent (d. 1360) was an English nobleman and military commander during the Hundred Years' War.

He was from a gentry family in Holland, Lancashire. In his early military career, he fought in Flanders. He was engaged, in 1340, in the English expedition into Flanders and sent, two years later, with Sir John D'Artevelle to Bayonne, to defend the Gascon frontier against the French. In 1343, he was again on service in France; and, in the following year, had the honour of being chosen one of the founders of the Most Noble Order of the Garter. In 1346, he attended King Edward III into Normandy in the immediate retinue of the Earl of Warwick; and, at the taking of Caen, the Count of Eu and Guînes, Constable of France, and the Count De Tancarville surrendered themselves to him as prisoners. At the Battle of Crécy, he was one of the principal commanders in the van under the Prince of Wales and he, afterwards, served at the Siege of Calais in 1346-7.

Around the same time or before his first expedition, he married the 12-year-old princess Joan Plantagenet, Joan of Kent, daughter of Edmund of Woodstock, 1st Earl of Kent and Margaret Wake, granddaughter of Edward I and Marguerite of France, and sole heir of her father. However, during his absence on foreign service, Joan, under pressure from her family, contracted another marriage with William Montacute, 2nd Earl of Salisbury (of whose household Holland had been seneschal). This second marriage was annulled in 1349, when Joan's previous marriage with Holland was proved to the satisfaction of the papal commissioners.

Between 1353 and 1356 he was summoned to Parliament as Baron de Holland.

In 1354 Holland was the king's lieutenant in Brittany during the minority of the Duke of Brittany, and in 1359 co-captain-general for all the English continental possessions.

His brother-in-law John, Earl of Kent, died in 1360, and Holland became Earl of Kent in right of his wife.

He was succeeded as baron by his son Thomas, the earldom still being held by his wife (though the son later became Earl in his own right). Another son, John became Earl of Huntingdon and Duke of Exeter.

[g] On this occasion Raoul, Count of Eu, Constable of France, and Jehande Melun, Count of Tankerville, Chamberlain of France, endeavoured tohold the gatehouse of the bridge, when the burghers had fled. Lookingout, they saw a group approaching, under a banner they recognised, amongthem a very gentle English knight, who had but one eye, called MessireThomas de Hollande. To him and his companions they surrendered. Then wasSir Thomas glad for two reasons, one that they were such good prisoners,for whom he could have 100,000 gold pieces, and the other that he hadsaved their lives, for they were in great danger between the French andEnglish. On entering the city the English knights did all they could toprotect the women of the town and the nuns. Thomas was one of thecommissioners to take the surrender. (Froissart, op. cit., vol. xvii, p.253).

[j] In Thomas de Holand's petition to Clement VI, May 1347, he says thathe was married to Joan more than 8 years ago, and that while he was inPrussia Montagu married her and unjustly detained her (Cal. PapalLetters, Vol. iii, p. 252). The matter was referred to Cardinal Ademar,who, after examination, reported the earlier marriage to be legal, andthe Pope thereupon, 17 Nov. 1349, ordered Joan to be restored to herlawful husband (Beltz, citing Reg. Islip, f. 18c-Lambeth Library).

Thomas Holland, 1st Earl of Kent (d. 1360) was an English nobleman and military commander during the Hundred Years' War.

He was from a gentry family in Holland, Lancashire. In his early military career, he fought in Flanders. He was engaged, in 1340, in the English expedition into Flanders and sent, two years later, with Sir John D'Artevelle to Bayonne, to defend the Gascon frontier against the French. In 1343, he was again on service in France; and, in the following year, had the honour of being chosen one of the founders of the Most Noble Order of the Garter. In 1346, he attended King Edward III into Normandy in the immediate retinue of the Earl of Warwick; and, at the taking of Caen, the Count of Eu and Guînes, Constable of France, and the Count De Tancarville surrendered themselves to him as prisoners. At the Battle of Crécy, he was one of the principal commanders in the van under the Prince of Wales and he, afterwards, served at the Siege of Calais in 1346/1347.

Around the same time or before his first expedition, he married the 12-year-old princess Joan Plantagenet, Joan of Kent, daughter of Edmund of Woodstock, 1st Earl of Kent and Margaret Wake, granddaughter of Edward I and Marguerite of France, and sole heir of her father. However, during his absence on foreign service, Joan, under pressure from her family, contracted another marriage with William Montacute, 2nd Earl of Salisbury (of whose household Holland had been seneschal). This second marriage was annulled in 1349, when Joan's previous marriage with Holland was proved to the satisfaction of the papal commissioners.

Between 1353 and 1356 he was summoned to Parliament as Baron de Holland.

In 1354 Holland was the king's lieutenant in Brittany during the minority of the Duke of Brittany, and in 1359 co-captain-general for all the English continental possessions.

His brother-in-law John, Earl of Kent, died in 1360, and Holland became Earl of Kent in right of his wife.

He was succeeded as baron by his son Thomas, the earldom still being held by his wife (though the son later became Earl in his own right). Another son, John became Earl of Huntingdon and Duke of Exeter.

Sir Thomas Holland, the second son of Robert, 1st Lord Holland, and Maud De La Zouche, was engaged, in 1340, in the English expedition into Flanders and sent, two years later, with Sir John D'Artevelle to Bayonne, to defend the Gascon frontier against the French. In 1343, he was again on service in France; and, in the following year, had the honour of being chosen one of the founders of the Most Noble Order of the Garter. In 1346, he attended King Edward III into Normandy in the immediate retinue of the Earl of Warwick; and, at the taking of Caen, the Count D'Eu and Guisues, Constable of France, and the Count De Tancarville surrendered themselves to him as prisoners. At the Battle of Crécy, he was one of the principal commanders in the van under the Prince of Wales and he, afterwards, served at the Siege of Calais in 1346-7. It was about this time, or shortly before the expedition, that he married the the twelve-year-old princess, Joan Plantagenet, the 'Fair Maid of Kent,' a grandaughter of King Edward I and sister and sole heir of John, Earl of Kent. However, it appears that, during his absence on foreign service, his consort contracted another matrimonial engagement with William Montacute, 2nd Earl of Salisbury (of whose household our knight had been seneschal). This second marriage was annulled in 1349 when her previous marriage with Holland was proved to the satisfaction of the papal commissioners. He shared the naval triumph over the Spanish fleet near Ecluse in 1350. In 1353, the King, with the assent of Sir Thomas Holland and the Lady Joan, his wife, assigned, as dower, to Elizabeth, the widow of John, late Earl of Kent, numerous manors; and, in the same year, our knight had summons to parliament; and writs were in successive years directed to him until 1357. In March 1354, he was constituted the King's Lieutenant and Captain in Brittany and the parts of Poitou adjacent to the Duchy. He passed the ensuing winter and a great part of the following year on that high service; in which he was succeeded by Henry, Duke of Lancaster. In 1358, Thomas and his lady went into Normandy, where, in the next year, he obtained the custody of the Castle and Fort of St. Sauveur-le-Vicomte and of all the castles late of Geoffrey De Harcourt, including Barfleur. Shortly afterwards, he was appointed, jointly with Philip of Navarre, the King's Lieutenant and Captain in Normandy; and, in 1360, that office was vested in him solely. In the last-mentioned year, he assumed the title of Earl of Kent, in right of his wife; and on the 20th November was summoned to parliament by that title. But, in the following month, 28th December 1360, he died in Normandy.

Thomas had issue, by the Lady Joan (shortly afterwards Princess of Wales), two sons:

1. Thomas, 2nd Earl of Kent and

2. John, Earl of Huntingdon & Duke of Exeter. He had also two daughters:

3. Joan, the second consort of John IV, Duke of Brittany; and

4. Maud, married, first, to Hugh, Lord Courtenay, and, secondly, to Waleran, Count De St. Pol.

'''Thomas Holland, 1st Earl of Kent, 1st Baron Holand, KG (c. 1314 – 26 December 1360) was an English nobleman and military commander during the Hundred Years' War.

'''He was from a gentry family in Upholland, Lancashire. He was a son of''' Robert de Holland, 1st Baron Holand and Maud la Zouche. '''One of his brothers was''' Otho Holand, who was also made a Knight of the Garter.

Military career

'''In his early military career, he fought in Flanders. He was engaged, in 1340, in the English expedition into Flanders and sent, two years later, with Sir John D'Artevelle to Bayonne, to defend the Gascon frontier against the French. In 1343, he was again on service in France. In 1346, he attended King Edward III into Normandy in the immediate retinue of the Earl of Warwick; and, at the taking of Caen, the Count of Eu and Guînes, Constable of France, and the Count De Tancarville surrendered themselves to him as prisoners. At the Battle of Crécy, he was one of the principal commanders in the vanguard under the Prince of Wales and he, afterwards, served at the Siege of Calais in 1346-7. In 1348 he was invested as one of the founders and 13th Knight of the new Order of the Garter.

'''Around the same time as, or before, his first expedition, he secretly married the 12-year-old Joan of Kent''', daughter of Edmund of Woodstock, 1st Earl of Kent and Margaret Wake, granddaughter of Edward I and Margaret of France. '''However, during his absence on foreign service, Joan, under pressure from her family, contracted another marriage''' with William Montacute, 2nd Earl of Salisbury (of whose household Holland had been seneschal). '''This second marriage was annulled in 1349, when Joan's previous marriage with Holland was proved to the satisfaction of the papal commissioners. Joan was ordered by the Pope to return to her husband and live with him as his lawful wife; this she did, thus producing 4 children by him.

'''Between 1353 and 1356 he was summoned to Parliament as Baron de Holland.

'''In 1354 Holland was the king's lieutenant in Brittany during the minority of the Duke of Brittany, and in 1359 co-captain-general for all the English continental possessions.

'''His brother-in-law''' John, Earl of Kent, '''died in 1352, and Holland became Earl of Kent in right of his wife.

'''He was succeeded as baron by his son''' Thomas, '''the earldom still being held by his wife''' (though the son later became Earl in his own right). Another son, John became Earl of Huntingdon and Duke of Exeter.

'''Thomas and Joan of Kent had four children:

*Thomas Holland, 2nd Earl of Kent

*John Holland, 1st Duke of Exeter

*Joan Holland, who married John V, Duke of Brittany

*Maud Holland, married firstly Hugh Courtenay grandson of Hugh de Courtenay, 10th Earl of Devon and secondly, Waleran III of Luxembourg, Count of Ligny
