Notes:

Humphrey was Steward and Sewer to King Henry I. This feudal lord married Margery, daughter of Milo de Gloucester, Earl of Hereford, Lord High Constable of England, last Lord Hereford of that family. She was co-heir with her sister Mabel. At the instigation of which Milo he espoused the cause of the Empress Maud and her son, afterwards Henry II, against the King Stephen, and so faithfully maintained his allegiance that the Empress, by her especial charter, granted him the office of steward and sewer, both in Normandy and England. In the 20th of Henry II this Humphrey accompanied Richard de Lacy, Justice of England, into Scotland with a powerful army to waste that country, and was one of the witnesses to the accord made by William, King of Scots, and King Henry as to the subjection of that kingdom to the crown of England.

Humphrey, third Baron de Bohon (1109-87) succeeded his father Humphrey the great in 1129 and became involved in the struggle for the throne of England on the death of Henry I in 1134. When King Henry II became king, Sir Humphrey became Steward of Henry II's household and was later named hereditary Constable of England, a position previously held by his father-in-law and then by his brother-in-law. Humphrey, in 1138, had married Margaret, daughter of Miles of Gloucester, Earl of Hereford and High Constable of England. When Miles sons died heirless, Henry II gave the title of High Constable to Miles' son-in-law, Humphrey, 3rd Baron de Bohon. Humphrey and Margaret of Gloucester had five sons, Humphrey, Richard, John, Miles and Robert.

King Henry II (1154-89) had many difficulties during his reign, including numerous revolts led by his sons. Humphrey (1109-87) the third Baron de Bohon, and his eldest son, Sir Humphrey (1141-83) usually known as the Young Earl of Hereford, remained loyal to Henry II throughout his reign. Sir John de Bohon, the third son, was a very close friend and supporter of Henry II's 4th son Geoffrey as long as Geoffrey lived. Sir Robert de Bohon, the youngest son, was a very close friend of Prince Henry; Henry II's second son and heir.

Sir Robert le Bon died in 1183, four years before his father Baron Humphrey de Bohon's death. Consequently, when Humphrey the third Baron died in 1187, he was succeeded by his 12 year old grandson, Henry (1176-1220) as fourth Baron de Bohon. Upon coming of age, Henry was knighted and made High Constable of England and held manor houses and castles at Caldicot, Haresfield, Oaksey and Walden in addition to the main Hereford holdings.

Humphrey married Eleanor DE BRAOSE in Wales, England. Eleanor was born about 1230 in Breconshire, Wales; died on 10 Aug 1255 in Llanthony Inn, Gloucestershire, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
