He married November 25, 1302 at Westminster, Lady Elizabeth Plantagenet, daughter of King Edward I and widow of John, Count of Holland. Humphrey was fourth Earl of Hereford and third Earl of Essex and Constable of England. In 1301 he joined the barons in their letter of protest to the pope from the parliament of Lincoln. He took a leading part in the tournaments of Fulham in 1305 and at Wallingford in 1307. In 1308 he was sent to Scotland to oppose Robert Bruce. He was one of the twenty-one ordainers appointed to reform the government and the king's household. The ordinances were accepted in October 1311, but three months later the king recalled his banished favorite, Gaveston, and immediately:the barons, including de Bohun, took arms against Gaveston, captured and beheaded him. Edward was powerless to punish the rebellious lords; negotiations for peace were opened and in October 1313 the earls and their followers were pardoned. In 1314 the war with Scotland was renewed and de Bohun was taken prisoner at the battle of Bannockburn. He was later exchanged for Elizabeth, wife of Robert Bruce, King of Scotland, who had long been held captive in England. During the next six years the resentment of the barons increased as the power of the two Despensers, father and son, grew over the king. It finally came to a head at the battle of Boroughbridge in which the king finally defeated the barons and de Bohun lost his life. Elizabeth was born August 5, 1282, Rhudlan Castle, County Carnarvon and died May 5, 1316 and was buried at Walden Abbey. By her Humphrey had six sons and four daughters. from http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bohun-3 |

| Note 1: | Knight of the Garter 1349, Stall 13, became a member of the order of the garter after the death of Hugh Courtenay. According to the custom upon the admission of the early knights of that order, he executed a deed of gift, dated London, 4 May following, of the advowson of Dadington to the canons of the said chapel. William de Bohun, Earl of Northampton in 1337 carried a seal with the whole of the family Arms reproduced on it. William assisted in the overthrow of Roger Mortimer. The manor of High-Wycombe was granted to William de Bohun in 1332. In 1336 William was made Constable of England. In a Parliament William was made Earl of Northampton on March 17 1337 by Edward III, at the occasion of conferring the Dukedom of Cornwall to Prince Edward. The elevation of William de Bohun, backed up by £1,000 a year helped William supply men to Edward III for his campaigns. In 1337 William was appointed one of the commissioners to treat with Philip of Valois, discussing the right to the French Crown, and also to negotiate a peace with David Bruce. In 1339 William was one of the marshals in the third battalia of Edward III's army, drawn up at Vironfosse. William took part in the naval Victory at the battle of Sluys 1340. In 1342, William was made the King's Leutenant and Captain General in Brittany, with powers to receive fealty and homage from the inhabitants on behalf of Edward III under his assumed title as King of France. In August 1342 William de Bohun, Constable of England, along with Robert of Artois, lands in Brest, advances across Brittany and captures Vannes. On 30 September 1342 William de Bohun defeated Charles de Blois at the Battle of Morlay, and took the town of Roch-Dirien by assault. In 1343, William was in the expedition of the Earl of Lancaster into Scotland and was appointed Governor of Lochmaben Castle. Later in 1343 William was back in Brittany. On 16 August 1346 William led a heavy cavalry detachment accross the recently rebuilt bridge over the Seine at Poissy to clear the militia guarding the north bank stationed by King Philippe of France. Together with the Earl of Warwick he led the crossing of the Somme at Blanche-Taque to secure the northern bank and allow the English army to cross prior to the battle of Crecy. At Crecy he led the second battle of the English army on the right wing. On 10 May 1346 Letters Patent of Edward III, granting license (at the request of William de Bohun, Earl of Northampton) to Richard and Ann Hakoun and John and Isabel Burdoun to grant one quarter of Bricett manor to Bricett priory. The Great Seal of Edward III is attached. In 1347, he is particularly mentioned by the King in his letter to the Archbishop of York, detailing the events before Calais. Also in 1347 William De Bohun was at the Siege of Calais, with his nephew Hugh Courtenay and in the camp around Calais, the King, upon their joint supplication, excused the Earl of Devon, on account of infirm health, from attending on any military service out of the realm. After the surrender, he probably returned in the Royal suite to England and he was at Eltham Palace, Surrey, towards the close of 1347, distinguishing himself at a tournament, and receiving from the King, as his reward, a hood of white cloth, buttoned with large pearls and embroidered with figures of men in dancing postures. The Earl of Northampton, who succeeded in 1349 Sir Hugh Courtenay in the seventh Garter Stall on the Sovereign's side in St. George's College Chapel, Windsor, Berks, had licence, on the 26 January 1350, to assign the advowson of Dadington to the custodians and chaplains of the said college, and that, on the 4 May 1350, the Earl completed that donation, which was made in conformity to a custom observed by Knights of the Order soon after the foundation. The Isle of Foulness lies just off of the Essex coast near Shoebury. The area was already considered an island back in roman times and the name seems to be derived from old English fulga-naess meaning "wild birds nest". Foulness manor in 1235 was granted to Hugh de Burg Earl of Kent , then in 1271 passed down to Guy de Rochford and then his nephew John and then Robert de Rochford in 1324. After this date it is recorded in the records as part of the estate of William de Bohun Earl of Hereford until 1373 Buried at Walden Abbey, Essex, England. from http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bohun-35 ~~~~~~~~ |
