Robert de Holand in 1331 settled Chelveston with other lands on himself for life and after his death on his son Robert and his sons, with contingent remainder to Thomas and Alan, brothers of the younger Robert. [Feet of F. Northants. file 73, no. 87] On the death of Sir Robert de Holand in 1373 it was stated that he held the Chelveston and other manors, 'to him and the heirs male of his body, and that John his son is his next heir male and of full age'. [Close 47 Edw. III, m. 32] The existing inquest, however, states that the manor was settled on Sir Robert, his wife Maud and son Robert; that Robert Holand the son had died seised on 16 March 1373, and that Maud his daughter, the wife of Sir John Lovel, was his heir. [Chan. Inq. p.m. 47 Edw. III (1st nos.), no. 19] Maud accordingly obtained seisin of the manor, which followed the descent of the Lovel barony. John Lord Lovel, the great-grandson of Maud de Holand, forfeited the estate for his fidelity to the Lancastrian cause
