| Griffith identifies the following Sir Thomas as "ap John Holland, Earl of Huntingdon and Duke of Exeter, ap Sir Edward Holland ap Sir Robert Holland ap Sir Robert Holland and Earl of Valentia". This looks wrong. The John Holland who was Earl of Huntingdon & Duke of Exeter lived 1350-1400 whereas this Sir Thomas presumably lived in the 13th century. Also, the reference to the Earl of Valentia is not easily understood or verifiable, given that TCP indicates that there was no such Earl in these times. | |||||||||||||||
| Sir Thomas Holland | |||||||||||||||
| m. Joyce Croft (dau of Sir Jasper Croft) | |||||||||||||||
| 1. | Thomas Holland | ||||||||||||||
| m. Jane de Valence (dau of Sir Fulke de Valence, brother of William, Earl of Pembroke) | |||||||||||||||
| It is noted that William de Valence, the so-called 'Earl of Pembroke', lived c1230-1295. We have not yet seen any other reference to William having a brother Fulk (though that does not mean that there was not one). | |||||||||||||||
| A. | Roger Holland | ||||||||||||||
| m. Jane Troutbeck (dau of Sir Roger Troutbeck, son of Sir William) | |||||||||||||||
| Somewhat arbitrarily, we stop italicising the names as from the next generation. The logic, inasmuch as it was applied, is that the following Roger is shown as having married a wife who has a Welsh name and we take that as an indication that it is known that he lived in Wales. We suspect (but have no 'evidence' to support our view) that the above represented a (spurious?) attempt to connect Roger to the family which had a high-profile in England for several generations. | |||||||||||||||
