  • Notes 
    • He was one of the nine godfathers of Prince Edward. After returning from a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, he was one of the writers of the Provisions of Oxford in 1258. His wife was Maud de Lusignan, daughter of Raoul de Lusignan, Count of Eu. He was Marshal of the Household of the King, and a Crusader in 1250. (Wikipedia)

      Humphrey de Bohun, as Earl of Hereford, and possessing the honour of Essex from his mother, was created Earl of that county by Henry III, at whose marriage his lordship performed the office of marshal in the King's house, and in three years afterwards, Anno 1239, was one of the godfathers at the font for Edward, later Edward I, eldest son of the King, there being no less than nine sponsors on the occasion, viz., five temporal and four spiritual lords. He was Lord High Constable of England. In 1250 he took up the cross and proceeded to the Holy Land. In three years afterwards his lordship was present with other lords when that formal curse was denounced in Westminster Hall, with bell, book and candle, against the violators of the Magna Charta; in which year he founded the church of the Friars Augustines, in Broadstreet, within the city of London. In the great contest between the King, Henry III, and his barons this nobleman fought for the latter at Evesham, where he was taken prisoner, but did not long continue in bondage, for we find him soon after again in favour and receiving new grants from the crown. His lordship died 1275, having married 1st Maud, daughter of Ralph, Count of Eu, and Yolanda, his wife, daughter of Robert, Count of Dreux and Earl of Ewe in France, and had issue Humphrey and three daughters; Maud married Anselem, Earl of Pembroke, Alice married Roger de Tonei, and another who married a de Quincey.
