Early life
Holland was a son of Sir Robert de Holland of Upholland, Lancashire, and Elizabeth, daughter of William de Samlesbury.Holland was a member of the noble{{source needed|date=August 2023}} Holland family and a favourite official of Thomas, 2nd Earl of Lancaster, and was knighted by 1305. He was appointed on 20 December 1307 in a matter concerning the Knight Templars, shortly before Edward II ordered their arrest and trials in January 1308. In October 1313 Holland was pardoned for his role in the death of Piers Gaveston.{{sfn|Parl Writs II Digest|1834}}{{primary source inline|date=January 2019}} From 1314 to 1321 he was called to Parliament as a baron and was appointed as secretary to the Earl of Lancaster.{{harvnb|Holland|1902}}Banastre Rebellion (1315)
Holland's favoured treatment by the powerful earl caused his rival knights in the area, led by Adam Banastre, Henry de Lea, and William de Bradshagh (Bradshaw), to start a campaign of violence towards him and the earl's other supporters known as the Banastre Rebellion. The rebels protested against the earl's actions and authority by attacking the homes of his supporters and several castles, including Liverpool Castle. Holland later assisted in the hunt for fugitives after the rebels had been routed in Preston by a force under the command of the Sheriff of Lancashire.Battle of Boroughbridge (1322) and Invasion of England (1326)
On 4 March 1322 Holland was ordered to join the king with horses and men to defend against Lancaster's rebellion. Twelve days later Holland betrayed the king and fought alongside Lancaster at the Battle of Boroughbridge.{{sfn|Parl Writs II Digest|1834}}{{primary source inline|date=January 2019}}After their defeat, Holland surrendered and was imprisoned and had his lands confiscated. He was released from prison but was accused of having joined with other rebels in raids on the estates of Hugh le Despenser, 1st Earl of Winchester, over the next few years.{{sfn|Parl Writs II Digest|1834}}{{primary source inline|date=January 2019}} Holland was again imprisoned in Warwick Castle{{harvnb|Moor|1929}} before being moved in 1326 to Northampton Castle from which he escaped.{{sfn|Patent Rolls|1232{{ndash}}1509}}{{primary source inline|date=January 2019}}Demise
Following Queen Isabella and Roger Mortimer's overthrow of Edward II, Holland was pardoned for his escape from Northampton at the request of Henry de Beaumont;{{sfn|Patent Rolls|1232{{ndash}}1509}}{{primary source inline|date=January 2019}} his lands were restored to him on 24 December 1327.{{sfn|Close Rolls|1224{{ndash}}1468}}{{primary source inline|date=January 2019}}Holland still had enemies from the Banastre Rebellion though and in June 1328 they attempted to outlaw Holland for the deaths of Banastre and his followers, thirteen years after their deaths. Holland appealed against this but was killed{{sfn|Close Rolls|1224{{ndash}}1468}}{{primary source inline|date=January 2019}} in October in a wood near Henley-on-Thames{{source needed|date=August 2023}}, Oxfordshire{{source needed|date=August 2023}}. Thomas Wither is named by some{{who?|date=August 2023}} as the murderer and is claimed{{by whom?|date=August 2023}} to have been a supporter of the new Earl of Lancaster, Henry but in light of Holland's outlawry in June may have been a supporter of Banastre as well. Holland was beheaded, his head sent to the Earl of Lancaster at Waltham Cross and his body to Preston, Lancashire where it was buried in the church of Grey Friars. The inaccuracies of some accounts of Holland suggest his rivals may have smeared him deliberately{{source needed|date=August 2023}}.An Inquisition Post Mortem held in October 1328 found he held lands in Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Warwickshire, Leicestershire and London.{{sfn|Cal Inq PMs VII}}{{primary source inline|date=January 2019}}Marriage and issue
