  John Holland, 1st Duke of Exeter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He was the third son of Thomas Holland, 1st Earl of Kent and Joan "the fair maid of Kent", daughter of Edmund of Woodstock, a son of Edward I.
Holland was thus half-brother to Richard II, to whom he remained loyal the rest of his life.
Holland's lands and titles were forfeited, but eventually they were restored for his second son John Holland, 2nd Duke of Exeter.

 BBC SPORT | FOOTBALL | Holland outclass England
England held on unconvincingly until the Dutch struck twice inside a minute shortly before half-time, courtesy of a long-range thunderbolt from Mark van Bommel and a poacher's goal from Manchester United's £19m new boy Ruud van Nistelrooy.

England's experimental line-up had little time to settle as the were outflanked - literally at times by the brilliant wide pair of Boudewijn Zenden and Marc Overmars - and outmanouevred.

 Guardian Unlimited Football | News | World Cup qualifying: Czech Republic 0 - 2 Holland
England's passage to next summer's World Cup finals was secured as first-half goals by Rafael van der Vaart and Barry Opdam saw Holland claim victory over the Czech Republic in Group One.
The result means Holland preserve their unbeaten record at the top of the group while the Czechs still have the chance to qualify automatically as one of the best second-placed teams but must beat Finland away in their last game and hope results elsewhere in Europe go their way.
England's game on Wednesday at Old Trafford, for which the suspended Wayne Rooney will once again be available, now means nothing in terms of results but everything as far as the national side's morale is concerned going into the period leading up to next summer's finals.

Indeed, while England cruised to a record-breaking century of points, the biggest noises from the crowd were the wails of frustration when they dropped the ball.

 Baptist Heritage in England & Holland
Not only is Holland a microcosm of all that you've ever imagined Europe to be, it was a welcome door to many religious refugees fleeing persecution during Reformation times.
They believed that man has freedom to believe in Christ; that whoever will believe may be saved; that none are predestined to damnation; that the saved may renounce their faith and thus lose their salvation; and that all the local churches make up only one church.
Returning to England in 1616, Jacob gathered a church in Southwark, often called the JLJ church for its three pastors, Henry Jacob, John Lathrop, and Henry Jessey.
