Notes:

Humphrey de Bohun VII. was born circa 1249. He succeeded his grandfather as the 3rd Earl of Hereford and the 2nd Earl of Essex and Lord High Constable. He is said to have inherited the high and daring spirit of his predecessors, often strenuously opposed to the measures of the court, and was often therefore in disgrace, but he appears at the close of his career to have regained royal favor, for we find him attending the king into Scotland in 1298 when that monarch (Edward I.) obtained a great victory near Roxburgh. He married Maud Fiennes, daughter of Ingelram (Enguerrand) de Fiennes, Seigneur de Fiennes in Guisnes, by _______, daughter of Jacques, Seigneur de Conte, Bailleul, and Moriammez in Hainault, and granddaughter of William de Fiennes, by Agnes de Dammartin, daughter of Alberic, Count of Dammartin. Simon de Dammartin, Count of Aumale, by his wife Marie, Countess of Ponthieu and Aumale, was father of Jeanne, Countess of Ponthieu and Aumale, who married King Ferdinand III. of Castile. Maud died before her husband and was buried at Walden. He was associated with Roger Bigod, Earl of Norfolk, and other barons in their opposition to what was considered to be unfair taxation by King Edward I. He died in Pleshey (Boroughbridge), in 1297, and was succeeded by his son, Humphrey.

Humphrey married Maude de Fiennes. Maude (daughter of Ingelram (Enguerrand) DE FIENNES) was born about 1231; and died. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Humphrey de Bohun VIII was born circa 1276. He was the 4th Earl of Hereford and the 3rd Earl of Essex. He was also the Lord High Constable of England. He married November 14, 1302, at Westminster, Princess Elizabeth Plantaganet, widow of John, Count of Holland and Zealand, and daughter of King Edward I. of England and Eleanor of Castile, daughter of King Ferdinand III. of Leon and Castile in Spain. In the 30th year of King Edward I., he gave and granted unto the king, by formal conversance, the inheritance of all his lands and lordships, as also of his earldoms of Hereford and Essex, and the constableship of England, which, upon his marriage with Elizabeth Plantaganet, widow of John, Earl of Holland, and daughter of the king, were regranted to him, and entailed upon his issue lawfully begotten by that lady; in default thereof, and from and after the death of himself and his wife, then the lordship Plassets, and certain other lordships in Essex, and elsewhere. together with the constableship, should remain wholly to the king and his heirs for ever. In the 34th year of the same reign he had a grant similarly entailed of the whole territory of Annadale, in Scotland. After this he was in the wars of Scotland and was taken prisoner, in the 7th year of King Edward II. (1313-1314), at the disastrous battle (to the English) of Stryvelin. But he was exchanged for the wife of Robert Bruce, who had long been captive in England. From this period we find him constantly engaged in the service of the crown, until the 14th year of the king's reign, when Edward learning that the earl was raising forces in the marches of Wales, against Hugh Despencer the Younger, sent him a peremptory command to forbear, which he not only refused obeying, but forthwith joined Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, in the great insurrection then incited by that nobleman, for the redress of certain grievances, and the banishment of the Spencers. In this proceeding, however, he eventually lost his life, being run through the body by a soldier at the battle of Boroughbridge, in Yorkshire, where his party received so signal a defeat on March 16, 1321. He joined the barons in opposition to Edward's favorites, Piers de Gaveston and the Despencers. He assisted in the execution of Piers de Gaveston in 1312, for which he was pardoned in 1313. He fought at Bannockburn and was taken prisoner at Bethwell on June 24, 1314, where he had retreated, having been betrayed by the Governor, Sir Walter Gilbertson. He was then exchanged for Elizabeth, wife of Robert Bruce, King of Scotland, who had been a prisoner for some time. On February 11, 1315 or 1316 he was appointed captain of all the forces against Llewellyn Bran in the land of Glamorgan. Summoned to attend the Council at Gloucester, he sent word that he would not do so while Hugh Despencer, the younger, was in the king's comtive. He was then ordered to attend at Oxford, and preparing to attack the said Despencer was ordered on May 1, 1321, to abstain, but during May and June the lands of Despencer were ravaged. In accordance with an agreement in parliament, he received a pardon August 20, 1321. Bohun was killed at Boroughbridge on March 16, 1321 or 1322 when endeavoring to force the bridge. He was buried in the church of the Friars Preachers at York.

Humphrey married Princess Elizabeth PLANTAGENET, of Rhuddlan. Elizabeth (daughter of Edward I PLANTAGANET, 'Longshanks' King of England and Eleanor OF CASTILE) was born on 7 Aug 1282 in Rhuddlan Castle, Denbigshire, Wales, England; died on 5 May 1316 in Quendon, Essex, England; was buried in Walden Abbey, Saffron Walden, Uttlesford, Essex, England.

He was elected as a Knight of the Bath in the 20th year of Edward II., having, by special command of Price Edward, the robes for that solemnity out of the royal wardrobe, as for an earl. He served in the Scottish wars, being in an infirm state of health, was allowed in the 4th year of Edward III. to depute his brother Edward to execute the duties of constable. He married (1) Alice Fitz Alan, daughter of Edmund Fitz Alan, Earl of Arundel, and (2) Margaret Basset, daughter of Ralph Basset, Lord Basset, of Drayton, but had no issue. He died in 1335, when all his honors and estates devolved upon his next brother, Humphrey de Bohun IX.
