Later in the French campaign at the capture of Caen 7-26-1346 (c 26), he took the Count of Eu prisoner, but surrendered him as a hostage to Edward III for 80,000 florins, “as much as Pope Clement paid for the whole city of Avignon,” and thus became a wealthy man.

Sir Thomas complained to the Pope 1347 “that he was Marr: to Joan more than 8 yrs ago and that while he was in Prussia Montagu Marr: her and unjustly detained her...

But Joan stood by it and Clement, always attentive to wealth accepted it.” After Thomas de Holand d: 12-28-1360 (c 40) Joan Marr3: 1361 (33) Edward the Black Prince, Prince of Wales, and became the mother of Richard II.
