KENT, EDMUND DE HOLAND, 7TH AND LAST EARL.

Probably _youngest_ son of Thomas De Holand, fifth Earl, and his wife
Alesia de Arundel; born at Brokenhurst, January 6th, 1382 (_Prob. cet.
dicti. Edmundi_, 5 H. IV 38); baptised in Saint Thomas's Church,
January 8th. (_Ibidem_.) In 1403 he guarded the King to Shrewsbury; in
1404 he joined in the Duke of Clarence's expedition to Sluys; and Henry
the Fourth made him Lord High Admiral. He was received into the
fraternity at Canterbury, May 8th, 1405, about two months after the
imprisonment of Constance. About New Year's Day, 1406, "when he assumed
his arms," he made a grand tournament in Smithfield; the Earl of Moray
challenged him to single combat, and was triumphantly vanquished by
Kent. He appears to have lent himself with the most easy indifference
to Henry the Fourth's scheme for getting rid of Constance. The
probability is that he was tired of her, and was deeply in love with
Lucia. He was wounded in the head at the siege of Briac Castle,
September 10th, 1408, and died after lingering five days. His body was
brought over to England, and buried in
