Hugh Holland (1563–1633), the son of Robert Holland, was born in Denbigh in Denbighshire, north of Wales. He was educated at Westminster School under William Camden, where he excelled in classics and met playwright and poet Ben Jonson, with whom he established an "enduring friendship". In 1589, he proceeded to Trinity College, Cambridge on a scholarship. On completion of his studies, he travelled abroad, as far as Rome, where unguarded remarks about Queen Elizabeth caused him some trouble, and Jerusalem, where he may have been made a Knight of the Holy Sepulchre. On his return journey he received a reprimand from the English ambassador in Constantinople for the 'former freedom of his tongue'.
