Humphrey I 'the Great' de Bohun

Notes:

Humphrey de Bohun II., the Great succeeded his father as lord of Taterford. By order of King William Rufus he married Maud of Evereux, daughter of Edward de Evereux (de Saresbury), progenitor of the ancient Earls of Salisbury, through which marriage he acquired large estates in Wiltshire. He was Sheriff of Wiltshire and Bearer of the Royal Standard in 1120 in the battle of Benneville in Normandy. Humphrey and his wife had children.

Name:
By his lucrative marriage to Maud of Salisbury, he became regarded as "the founder of the fortunes of his family". This along with his later prominence in Hereford and Essex, resulted in him traditionally being called Humphrey I, even though his father, Humphrey, Lord of the Manor Bohun, preceded him.

Humphrey married Mathilda de Evreux about 1119. Mathilda (daughter of Edward de Evreux of Salisbury, High Sheriff of Wiltshire and Maud OF SALISBURY) was born about 1093 in Salisbury, Wiltshire, England; and died. [Group Sheet]

Margaret married Walter Fitz Robert, 2nd Lord of Little Dunmow, Essex. Walter was born about 1124; died in 1198 in Priory of Austin, Little Dunmow, Essex, England. [Group Sheet]

Humphrey married Margaret of Hereford, Constable of England. Margaret (daughter of Milo de Gloucester Fitz Walter, 1st Earl of Hereford and Sybyl de Neufmarch) was born about 1122/23; died on 6 Apr 1197. [Group Sheet]

Humphrey de Bohun IV, created Earl of Hereford, was also the hereditary Constable of England, in the right of his mother, if the chronicles of Llanthony are correct.. He married Margaret of Huntingdon, or Margaret of Scotland, daughter of Henry, Prince of Scotland, Earl of Huntingdon (son of St. David I, King of Scotland), and his wife, Ada Warren, daughter of William de Warren, Earl of Surrey, and his wife, Isabel Vermandois, and sister of William, King of the Scots, and widow of Conan le Petit, Duke of Brittany and Earl of Richmond. Humphrey was succeeded by his eldest son, Henry.

Notes:

Henry de Bohun II, the Surety, was born before 1177 (1176?). He became the 1st Earl of Hereford of this family, being so created by King John, dated April 28, 1199; but the office of Lord High Constable of England he inherited from his father. He was one of the leaders of the barons who forced King John to sign the Magna Charta, and he was one of the twenty-five sureties, in 1215. He had his lands sequestered, but they were restored at the signing of the Magna Charta, at Runnemede. He was subsequently excommunicated by the Pope, and did not return to his allegiance on the death of King John, but was one of the commanders in the army of Louis le Dauphin, at the battle of Lincoln. He was taken prisoner by William Marshal at the battle of Lincoln, in the 1st year of Henry III. After this defeat he joined Saire de Quincy, and other Magna Charta barons in a pilgrimage to the Holy Land in June, 1220. His body was brought home and buried in the chapter-house of Llanthony Abbey, in Gloucestershire. He was also Sheriff of Kent. He married Maud Fitz Geoffrey, Countess of Essex, daughter of Geoffrey Fitz Piers, 4th Earl of Essex, and his first wife, Beatrix Saye, only daughter of William de Saye, eldest son of Lord William de Saye and his wife, Beatrix Mandeville. Geoffrey FitzPiers, also Baron of Mandeville, died in 1212. Maud was eventually heiress of her brother, William de Mandeville, last Earl of Essex of that family, by whom he acquired the honor of Essex and other extensive lordships.

Henry II was the 1st Earl of Hereford of the Bohun family. Previously, Miles Fitz Walter of Gloucester was the 1st Earl of Hereford of the Fitz Walter family. He was succeeded by his son and heir, Roger,* the 2nd Earl of Hereford; however, when Roger died without an heir (and his brothers without issue), the Earldom of Hereford became extinct, although the shrievalty of Hereford and Gloucester passed to Roger's brother, Walter. Later (1199), their eldest sister, Margaret, took the bulk (Liber Niger) to the Bohuns, in recognition of their descent from Miles, earls of Hereford, and constables of England.**
