Thomas Holland, 2nd Earl of Kent {{postnominals|country=GBR|KG}} (1350{{snd}}25 April 1397) was an English nobleman and a councillor of his half-brother, King Richard II of England.

Family and early Life

Thomas Holland was born in Upholand, Lancashire, in 1350.{{sfn|Stansfield|1987|p=28}} He was the eldest surviving son of Thomas Holland, 1st Earl of Kent, and Joan "The Fair Maid of Kent".{{sfn|Archbold|1891|p=157}} His mother was a daughter of Edmund of Woodstock, 1st Earl of Kent, and Margaret Wake. Edmund was in turn a son of Edward I of England and his second Queen consort Marguerite of France, and thus a younger half-brother of Edward II of England.

His father died in 1360, and later that year, on 28 December, Thomas became Baron Holand. His mother was still Countess of Kent in her own right, and in 1361 she married Edward, the Black Prince, the son of King Edward III.

Military career

At sixteen, in 1366, Holland was appointed captain of the English forces in Aquitaine.{{sfn|Archbold|1891|p=157}} Over the next decade he fought in various campaigns, including the Battle of Nájera, under the command of his stepfather Edward, the Black Prince. He was made a Knight of the Garter in 1375.{{sfn|Archbold|1891|p=157}}

Richard II became king in 1377, and soon Holland acquired great influence over his younger half-brother, which he used for his own enrichment. In 1381, he succeeded as Earl of Kent.{{sfn|Archbold|1891|p=157}}

Later years and death

Prior to his death, Holland was appointed Governor of Carisbrooke Castle.{{sfn|Archbold|1891|p=157}} Holland died at Arundel Castle, Sussex, England on 25 April 1397.{{sfn|Cokayne|1929|p=156}}

{{refimprove section|date=May 2016}}

By his daughters' marriages, he became the ancestor of many of the prominent figures in the Wars of the Roses, including Richard Plantagenet, 3rd Duke of York (father of Kings Edward IV and Richard III), Henry Tudor (later King Henry VII), and Warwick the Kingmaker, father of queen consort Anne Neville. He was also an ancestor of queen consort Catherine Parr, the sixth and last wife of King Henry VIII. His daughters were as follows:

  1. Eleanor I Holland, alias Alianore (13 October 1370 – 23 October 1405). Married firstly to Roger Mortimer, 4th Earl of March{{sfn|Richardson II|2011|p=498}} (1374–1398), for a time heir presumptive to his mother's first cousin King Richard II, and left issue. Following the deposition of Richard II in 1399 by his own first cousin, Henry IV, the claim to the throne of England was pursued by Roger's and Alianore's grandson Richard, Duke of York (1411–1460), the drawn-out struggle of which formed the basis for the Wars of the Roses. Secondly, she married Edward Charleton, 5th Baron Cherleton,{{sfn|Richardson II|2011|p=498}} and left issue.
  2. Joan Holland (c. 1380 – 12 April 1434), married Edmund of Langley, 1st Duke of York
