Eldest son of Roger, fifth Earl, and his wife Alianora de Holand; born
November 4th, 1391; imprisoned in Windsor Castle, about Christmas, 1399;
stolen away by Constance Le Despenser, about February 14th, 1405;
recaptured and again consigned to prison; bound with four others as
surety for 70,000 florins, to be paid to Duke of Milan, January, 1406;
marriage granted to Queen Jeanne of Navarre, February 24th, 1408 (_Rot.
Pat_. 9 H. IV, Part 1), and afterwards sold by her to the Prince of
Wales for 200 pounds (_Rot. Ex, Michs_, 1 H. V); apparently released
on accession of Henry the Fifth, 1413; married, 1414-16, Anne, daughter
of Edmund Earl of Stafford, and his wife Princess Anne of Gloucester;
sat as judge on his brother-in-law's trial--with regard to whose crime,
if the indictment were true, March must have been himself chief
witness,--August 5th, 1415; received pardon for all offences, August
7th. The next mention of him is that he was living in Ireland, July
10th, 1424; and it was in Ireland, at Trim Castle, that he died, January
19th, 1425, aged 33. He was buried at Stoke Clare. He left no issue,
and his widow remarried John de Holand, Earl of Huntingdon. The last
mention of his brother Roger as living occurs on the Rolls, August 26th,
1404; but we are told that he was one of the boys stolen by Constance in
February, 1405. After that nothing is heard of him but that he died
young; probably before his brother's release, as his age would then have
been at least fifteen. His sister Alianora married Edward Courtenay,
and died issueless.
