6. | Humphrey I 'the Great' de Bohun (3.Billeheude3, 2.Neil2, 1.Neil1) was born about 1080; died about 1123. 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]
