I have located a record pertaining to an unidentified Sir
John Holand. In 1422, the King granted to "the king's
knight John Holand ... the keeping and office of Clifbailly,
co. Northampton ... as Nicholas Merbury had in his life."
[Reference: Calendar of Patent ROlls, 1416-1422, pg. 428].
I originally assumed that this Sir John Holand was John
Holand, Jr., who later became Earl of Huntingdon and Duke of
Exeter. But, Faris shows that the Earl was taken prisoner
in France in 1420, where he remained for five years.
Is there another Sir John Holand floating around England in
this time period? If so, this record is the only indication
I have located so far of an unidentified Sir John Holand in
or near Northamptonshire.
All for now. Best always, Douglas Richardson
