Thomas Holland, 1st Duke of Surrey
Thomas Holland, 1st Duke of Surrey (1374 - January 7, 1400), also 3rd Earl of Kent
He was the son of Thomas Holland, 2nd Earl of Kent and Alice Fitzalan, daughter of Richard Fitzalan, 10th Earl of Arundel. He was also nephew of Richard II of England. On his father's death in 1397 Holland became 3rd Earl of Kent, and was elected a Knight of the Garter. At that time Kent's uncle Richard II was removing from power Thomas of Woodstock, Duke of Gloucester, and his associates, and sent Kent to arrest his own uncle - Richard Fitzalan, 11th Earl of Arundel. In reward he received a share of the forfeited estates, and on September 29 was created Duke of Surrey. Yet another uncle John Holland was created Duke of Exeter on that day as well.
Holland, along with many of Richard's advisors, was arrested after Richard's deposition by Duke of Surrey
