Dear Newsgroup ~
Below is my file account of the 17th Century immigrant, Oliver
Manwaring's descent from King Edward III by way of Robert Holand,
Esq. This account will appear shortly in the forthcoming 2nd editions
of my two books, Plantagenet Ancestry and Magna Carta Ancestry.
Special thanks go to thank John Blythe Dobson who proofread the later
generations and made several valuable suggestions and additions to
me. I need to acknowledge Gary Boyd Roberts who published part of
this line back in 1993 in his book, Royal Descents of 500 Immigrants,
which line was based largely on original research done by Robert
Behra, of Salt Lake City. I should also acknowledge the contribution
of the historian, Ralph A. Griffiths, whose research provided proof of
the parentage of Robert Holand, Esq. [Gen. 10 below].
Interested parties may wish to visit the helpful "Genealogy Page" of
John Blythe Dobson, which is available at the following weblinks:

10. ROBERT HOLAND, Esq., styled “Bastard of Exeter,” illegitimate son
by an unknown mistress. He married MARGARET _____. They had two
daughters, Jane and Elizabeth (wife of John Reskymer). He was among
those assembled by his half-brother, Henry Holand, Duke of Exeter in
1454 to take part in an insurrection in Yorkshire. Following the
collapse of the insurrection, Robert and his brother, Duke Henry,
traveled secretly to London and sought sanctuary at Westminster
Abbey. They were led out of abbey and arrested by Richard, Duke of
York 23 July 1454. In 1458 he was granted the manors of Manerbier and
Penally, Pembrokeshire by his half-brother, Henry Holand, Duke of
Exeter, both of which manors are named in their father’s 1447 will,
being then held by feoffees. Presumably he is one of the two bastard
sons of the Duke of Exeter slain at the Battle of Towton 29 March
1461. In 1463 William Willoughby, Esq., of Boston, Lincolnshire was
pardoned for failure to appear before the justices of the late King’s
[Henry VI] bench touching a debt of £20 formerly owed to “Robert the
Bastard of Exeter.”

10. ROBERT HOLAND, Esq., styled “Bastard of Exeter,” illegitimate son
by an unknown mistress. He married MARGARET _____. They had two
daughters, Jane and Elizabeth (wife of John Reskymer). He was among
those assembled by his half-brother, Henry Holand, Duke of Exeter in
1454 to take part in an insurrection in Yorkshire. Following the
collapse of the insurrection, Robert and his brother, Duke Henry,
traveled secretly to London and sought sanctuary at Westminster
Abbey. They were led out of abbey and arrested by Richard, Duke of
York 23 July 1454. In 1458 he was granted the manors of Manerbier and
Penally, Pembrokeshire by his half-brother, Henry Holand, Duke of
Exeter, both of which manors are named in their father’s 1447 will,
being then held by feoffees. Presumably he is one of the two bastard
sons of the Duke of Exeter slain at the Battle of Towton 29 March
1461. In 1463 William Willoughby, Esq., of Boston, Lincolnshire was
pardoned for failure to appear before the justices of the late King’s
[Henry VI] bench touching a debt of £20 formerly owed to “Robert the
Bastard of Exeter.”
