Robert de Holand, Lord Holand, son and heir, was under age at his father's death, being then aged 16. His marriage was quickly granted to his mother, who offered 500 marks. He received the custody of Chelveston, Northants, in 1333 in reward for his services in the war with Scotland. He proved his age and had livery of his lands in 1335, and next year is described as a knight. He fought in the wars with France, and, being in the retinue of the Earl of Warwick in April 1346, was probably present at Crécy, 26 Aug 1346, and in Nov 1347 he is stated to have served in the King's retinue. In Mar 1347 he assisted Sir John de Dalton to abduct Margery de la Beche from Beaumes Manor, near Reading. In 1355, he again went overseas.
