His sons Edmund 1327-1333 and John 1330-1352 died childless, so sister Joan, THE FAIR MAID OF KENT inherited title of Countess and her husband Sir Thomas de Holand was summoned to Parliament as Earl of Kent in her right. Died 1360 and widow Joan married Edward of Woodstock (in later times called the Black Prince) and was mother of Richard II and an older boy who died young.
