Note (Additional information about the record)
- Difficult to date precisely as Lancaster served as keeper of the lands of rebels in Lancashire from 1322 until late in the reign of Edward II. As it is likely that these were associates and probably kin of Robert Holland, it is unlikely that there seizure of the Holland lands could significantly post date Holland's fall as a rebel in 1322.
