“The manor of Upholland appears in Domesday Book as ‘Hoiland,’ and was in the possession of ‘steinulf’ in the days of Edward the Confessor. The Hollands appear in the reign of John as donors to Cockersand Abbey, but their name is first mentioned in connection with this manor [of Upholland] in a ‘final concord’ made at the Lancaster Assizes dated November 5, 1202. In this deed Uhctred de Chyrche releases his right in fourteen oxgangs of land in Upholland to Matthew de Holland. This would mean about 210 acres of arable land together with rights of meadowing and pasturage, perhaps the manor as a whole, under this form” (TLH 2).

About Siward de Holland of Longworth
Date of birth might be 1143. It has also been (erroneously?) reported to be 1157.

The de Holland lineage originally hailed from Friesland, Holland. Their ancestors were counts and princes of Friesland since before the time of the birth of Christ. Their first English descendant, Siward "The Warrior" de Longworth de Holland, came to England in the early 11th century, probably as a knight warrior for hire. The history of the lineage from that time till now is storied and steeped in English history and chivalry. Sir Thomas was the 13th out of twenty-one knights Edward III dubbed into the Order of the Knights of the Garter in 1344. He and the others are considered Founder Knights of the oldest and most revered society of chivalry in English history.

The first de Holland to reside permanently in England was Siward “The Warrior” de Longworth de Holland (1143 – 1204). He and his son Matthew founded the township of Longworth, Lancashire during the 12th century. They were direct descendants of dukes and kings who ruled Friesland from before the time before the birth of Christ. Redbad (died 719), King of Frisia, was the last independent ruler of Frisia before Frankish domination of the country. He defeated Charles Martel at Cologne, but eventually lost the war against him.

Siward de Longsworth de Holand (son of Count Dirk VI de Longworth 1114-1157 and Countess Sofie van Salm von de Rheineck) married Julana de Robert, the daughter of Robert le Croc de Longsworth.

From http://www.genealogy.com/forum/surnames/topics/longworth/266/

The word "worth" in Anglo-Saxon means an enclosed area of land, and "long worth" exactly describes the old manor of Longworth which lies in the parish of Bolton in Lancashire. It is a long narrow area of land which is bounded by streams and moorland, and the land has always been used for farming,both arable and pasture. There was never a village in Longworth - in the south of the area there was a water powered corn mill, nearby was Longworth Hall (the home of the Lords of the Manor), and the rest of the land was occupied by scattered farms and cottages.

The first record of Longworths there was in c1200 when Matthew, son of Siward de Longworth, gave a grant of land to Cockersand Abbey in north Lancashire. During the next 250 years the descent of the Lords of the Manor is doubtful as there are large gaps in the records, but from the mid 15th century the manorial family is recorded in the records of the herald's visitations.

About Robert le Croc
From http://edurnford.blogspot.com/2014/08/11c1f-maud-la-zouche-married-robert-de.html

Siward de Longsworth de Holand (son of Count Dirk VI de Longworth 1114-1157 and Countess Sofie van Salm von de Rheineck) married Julana de Robert, the daughter of Robert le Croc de Longsworth.

Is this Robert a descendant of Alan de Holland of Downholland, Lancashire (http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=53192, search for "Alan")?

Comment June 2016: seems to have retroactively picked up "de Holland" in his geni name from his daughter's marriage to Siward de Holand.
