Note: Like his brother John, Duke of Exeter, Thomas Holland, Earl of Kent, owed his advancement largely to the fact that his mother, Joan "The Fair Maid of Kent" was also the mother of King Richard II.

He was made captain of English forces in Aquitaine in 1366 and the following year he was knighted by his stepfather, Edward the Black Prince, and in 1375 was made a Knight of the Garter. The following year he accompanied the English expedition into Brittany with two thousand men at arms and three thousand archers.

After his half-brother came to the throne in 1377 he exerted considerable influence at Court, most of it bad. Holland was selfish and grasping and more interested in enriching himself than in serving the King or England. In the first year of the new reign his half brother granted him an income of two hundred pounds for life and his income was soon a thousand pounds a year from Court appointments. He was named Earl-Marshall of England in 1380 and that year helped arrange the marriage between Richard II and Anne of Luxembourg, sister of the Emperor. The following year he was created Earl of Kent, a title held by his mother. That year he was made captain of the king's forces against the rebllion of the commons that had broken out in Kent. he was with Richard in the Tower when the rebells approached London, but when the King went out to meet them at Mile End, he was not present, fearing for his own life.

On his mother's death he was granted her lands and in 1389 was named Constable of the Tower and a privy councillor. He was named constable of Carisbrooke Castle just before his death.
