Andrew Roberts Lord, Holbrook and Allied Families, pages 3-4 - Sir John de Holbrok was considered a valiant soldier by his king, as he was summoned to defend the coast against the French on 30 August 1295, and six years later to defend his country against the Scots. We do not know the exact date of John's death but it must have been before 6 December 1306 for on that date his widow and two others held knight's fees in various parts of England, including one fee Freston and Holebrook, both of which are in the county Suffolk. The widow Alice must have been of noble birth as having been invited to the wedding of Elizabeth, daughter of King Edward II who married the Count of Flanders. On her death, she left a vast estate much of it in Suffolk. She died 8 December 1309.
