Chronicle of Henry Knighton. [Before March 1322] For indeed, all the other persecutors of the earl met with a violent death. When Robert de Holland (age 39) heard that the earl had fled, he surrendered himself to the king at Derby and was sent into custody at Dover Castle. Everyone regarded him with hatred, for he had betrayed his lord, who had loved him deeply, and had, as it were, raised him from nothing to a great man
Nam et cateræ quilibet comitis persecutores violentam mortem nacti sunt. Robertus de Holande cum audisset fugisse comitem, reddidit se regi apud Derbeyam, missusque est in custodiam ad castrum de Dover, quem omnes habebant exosum pro eo quod deceperat sic dominum suum qui eum nimis dilexerat, et, quasi de nihilo in magnum virum erexerat.
Chronicle of Henry Knighton. In the same year, Lord Robert de Holland was captured [7th October 1328] in a wood near London. This Robert (age 45) had been raised from a poor knight to a high and wealthy baron by Thomas, Earl of Lancaster. But at the time when discord arose between his lord, the Earl Thomas, and the king, Robert de Holland — in his lord's greatest moment of need, when Thomas was most relying on his arrival with the promised support of the people — abandoned his lord in his unavoidable distress and surrendered himself to the king, thereby betraying him. Because of this act of disloyalty, all the nobles and magnates of the realm hated him; and with the greatest dishonor, his head was cut off [15th October 1328]. It was sent to Henry, Earl of Lancaster, at Waltham Holy Cross, by a certain knight named Thomas Wyther, along with other secret followers of Thomas, Earl of Lancaster.

Eo tempore quo discordia increvit inter dominum suum comitem Thomam et regem, ipse Robertus Holande in summa necessitate domini sui quando dominus suus maxime confidebat de ejus adventu cum sauxilio populi promisso, relicto domino suo in sua angustia inevitabili reddidit se regi, decipiens dominum suum, quam ob infidelitatem omnes proceres et magnates regni odio eum habebant; et cum maximo vituperio caput ejus abscissum est, ad comitem Lancastriæ Henricum apud Waltham sanctæ crucis transmissum est per quendam militem Thomam Wyther nomine, et alios secretos Thomæ comitis Lancastriæ.
