Notes:

Reginald de Warren, who marrying Alice, daughter and heir of William de Wirmgay, became Lord Wirmgay, in Norfolk. He founded the priory of Wirmgay, and left a daughter, Alice, wife of Reginald de Dunstavil, and a son, William. Watson, in his "History of the House of Warren", corroborated by Camden and Ormerod, makes this Reginald to have married Aldelia de Mowbray, and to have had a son, William, from whom he deduced the family of Warren, of Poynton, co. Chester.

Notes:

William de Warren III, 3rd Earl of Warrenne and 3rd Earl of Surrey, zealously espoused the cause of King Stephen, and had a chief command in the army of that monarch, in the battle fought at Lincoln, between him and the adherents of the Empress Maud. He married Adela (Alice) Talvace, daughter of William Talvace, Baron de Talvace, son of Robert de Belesme, 3rd Earl of Shrewsbury and Arundel, and by her (who married (2) Patrick de Eureux, Earl of Salisbury).

In 1147, the Earl of Warrenne and Surrey assumed the cross, and accompanied King Louis of France to the Holy Land against the Saracens. From this unfortunate enterprise he never returned, but whether he fell in battle or died in captivity has never been ascertained.

He was an able and strenuous baron, and acted a great part in the reign of King Alexander III. of Scotland. In 1255, he was appointed one of the fifteen Regents of Scotland. In 1284, he was one of the Magnates Scotiae who consented to accept Margaret of Norway as their sovereign, on the demise of Alexander III. He contested unsuccessfully, in 1291, for the throne of Scotland. King Edward I., the arbitrator, decided in favor of John Balliol. He married in May 1240 (1) Isabel (Isabella) Clare, daughter of Gilbert de Clare, 3rd Earl of Gloucester, and a Surety of the Magna Charta, born November 2, 1226, and living July 10, 1264.

Malcolm IV, King of Scotland, (The Maiden) 10th Earl of Huntingdon, born probably in 1141. He succeeded his grandfather, May 24, 1153, a year after his father's death, being only twelve years of age. He died without issue, December 9, 1165, and was succeeded by his brother, William.

Notes:

William I., the Lion, King of Scotland, 11th Earl of Huntingdon, taking up arms in favor of Prince Henry, so exasperated King Henry II., that he immediately sent an army against him, and promised that the castle and earldom should be restored to the family of St. Liz, the rightful heirs; whereupon Simon St. Liz, Earl of Northampton, son and heir of Simon, last Earl of Huntingdon, of that family, levied troops, and appeared before the castle, when William of Scotland, finding it untenable, made a surrender to St. Liz of that fortress, which the King of England ordered to be demolished, but nevertheless, Simon de St. Liz was restored to the Earldom of Huntingdon, about 1174, which he enjoyed for the remainder of his life. He d.s.p., in 1184, whereupon King Henry II. restored the Earldom to King William, of Scotland, and that monarch transferred it to his younger brother, David. From the treaty of Falaise, December 8, 1174, to King Richard's quit-claim of December 5, 1189, William acknowledged the King of England as overlord of Scotland.

Notes:

Henry de Bohun II, the Surety, was born before 1177 (1176?). He became the 1st Earl of Hereford of this family, being so created by King John, dated April 28, 1199; but the office of Lord High Constable of England he inherited from his father. He was one of the leaders of the barons who forced King John to sign the Magna Charta, and he was one of the twenty-five sureties, in 1215. He had his lands sequestered, but they were restored at the signing of the Magna Charta, at Runnemede. He was subsequently excommunicated by the Pope, and did not return to his allegiance on the death of King John, but was one of the commanders in the army of Louis le Dauphin, at the battle of Lincoln. He was taken prisoner by William Marshal at the battle of Lincoln, in the 1st year of Henry III. After this defeat he joined Saire de Quincy, and other Magna Charta barons in a pilgrimage to the Holy Land in June, 1220. His body was brought home and buried in the chapter-house of Llanthony Abbey, in Gloucestershire. He was also Sheriff of Kent. He married Maud Fitz Geoffrey, Countess of Essex, daughter of Geoffrey Fitz Piers, 4th Earl of Essex, and his first wife, Beatrix Saye, only daughter of William de Saye, eldest son of Lord William de Saye and his wife, Beatrix Mandeville. Geoffrey FitzPiers, also Baron of Mandeville, died in 1212. Maud was eventually heiress of her brother, William de Mandeville, last Earl of Essex of that family, by whom he acquired the honor of Essex and other extensive lordships.

Henry II was the 1st Earl of Hereford of the Bohun family. Previously, Miles Fitz Walter of Gloucester was the 1st Earl of Hereford of the Fitz Walter family. He was succeeded by his son and heir, Roger,* the 2nd Earl of Hereford; however, when Roger died without an heir (and his brothers without issue), the Earldom of Hereford became extinct, although the shrievalty of Hereford and Gloucester passed to Roger's brother, Walter. Later (1199), their eldest sister, Margaret, took the bulk (Liber Niger) to the Bohuns, in recognition of their descent from Miles, earls of Hereford, and constables of England.**

Henry married Maud Fitz Geoffrey. Maud (daughter of Geoffrey de Mandeville, 1st Earl of Essex and Rohesia DE VERE) was born in 1185; died in 1236. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Gilbert Marshal, 4th Earl of Pembroke. He was restored to the whole of the late earl's lands by the king, although he had taken part in the proceedings of that nobleman. But not withstanding this act of grace, he never appears to have been cordially reconciled to the crown. His death occurred in 1241, and was occasioned by a fall from his horse at a tournament. He married (1) Margaret, daughter of William, King of Scotland, and (2) Maud de Lanvaley; but having no issue, he was succeeded, at his death in 1241, by his brother, Walter.

Notes:

Anselme Marshall, 6th Earl of Pembroke, who enjoyed the honors but eighteen days. He died December 5, 1245, d.s.p., by his wife, Maud Bohun, daughter of Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford, whereupon all his honors became extinct, and his great inheritance devolved upon his sisters, as co-heirs.

Anselme married Matilda (Maud) de Bohun. (daughter of Humphrey IV de Bohun, 2nd Earl of Hereford and Maude de Lusignan) [Group Sheet]

Notes:

William Marshal, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, who , in the time of his father, was as strenuous a supporter of the baronial cause as that nobleman was of the royal interests, and was constituted a Surety, one of the twenty-five barons appointed to enforce the observance of the Magna Charta, being then styled "Comes Mareschal, Jun." After the decease of King John, however, he made his peace, and becoming loyally attached to the new monarch, obtained grants of the forfeited lands of his former companions, Saier de Quincy, Earl of Winchester, and David, Earl of Huntingdon. He was subsequently engaged against the Welsh, and defeated their Prince, Llewellyn, with great slaughter; and in the 14th year of Henry III., he was captain-general of the king's forces in Brittany. He married Alice Betun, daughter of Baldwin de Betun, Earl of Albemarle; and (2) Eleanor (Alianore) Plantaganet, daughter of King John, and sister of Henry III., but had issue by neither. He died in 1231, and was succeeded by his next brother, Richard.

William married Eleanor PLANTAGENET. Eleanor (daughter of John I "Lackland" KING OF ENGLAND and Lady Isabella Taillefer OF ANGOULEME) was born in 1215; died on 3 Apr 1275 in Montargis Abbey, France. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Richard Marshal, 3rd Earl of Pembroke. He returned to England upon the decease of his brother, and repairing to the king, then in Wales, offered to do homage for his inheritance, but Henry, at the suggestion of Hubert de Burgh, justiciary of England, declined receiving it, under the plea that the late earl's widow had been left in a state of pregnancy, and the king, at the same time, commanded Marshal forthwith to depart the realm within fifteen days; upon which he repaired to Ireland, where his brother then were, who, with the army, received him cordially, and, delivering up the castles to him, did their homage. He immediately afterwards took possession of the castle of Pembroke, and prepared to enforce his rights by arms; but the king, fearing to disturb the public tranquillity, accepted his fealty, and acknowledged him Earl of Pembroke. This reconciliation was not, however, of long endurance, for we find him soon afterwards in open hostility to the king, defending his own castles, storming and taking others, fighting and winning pitched battles, until his gallant career was finally arrested by the treachery of his own followers in Ireland, where, being inveigled, under the pretext of entering into a league of amity, he was assailed by superior numbers, and mortally wounded. Described by Matthew Paris as the "flower of chivalry", he died in 1234, and was buried at Kilkenny. As he was unmarried, his estates and honors devolved upon his brother, Gilbert.

Notes:

Maud Marshal, married (1) Hugh Bigod, Earl of Norfolk; (2) William de Warren, Earl of Surrey; and (3) Walter de Dunstanville. This lady, upon the death of her youngest brother, Anselme, Earl of Pembroke, s.p., in 1245, and the division of the estates, obtained as her share, the manor of Hempsted-Marshal, in Berks, with office of Marshal of England, which was inherited by her son, Roger Bigod, 4th Earl of Norfolk, and surrendered to the crown by her grandson, Roger Bigod, 5th Earl of Norfolk. Maud, Countess of Norfolk, had likewise the manors of Chepstow and Carlogh.

Notes:

Walter Marshal, 5th Earl of Pembroke. He had no little difficulty in obtaining livery of his inheritance, for when he came to do his homage, the king upbraided him with the injuries he had sustained from his predecessors. First, that Earl William, his father, had traitorously suffered Louis of France to escape out of England. Next, that Earl Richard, his brother, was a public enemy, and slain in fight as his enemy. That Gilbert, his brother, to whom at the instance of Edmund, Archbishop of Canterbury, he had more through grace than favor, vouchsafed livery of his lands, had against his expressed prohibition, met at the tournament, wherein he was killed. "And thou," continued the king, "in contempt of me, wast also there. With what face, therefore, canst thou lay claim to that inheritance?" Whereupon Walter replied: "Though I could give a reasonable answer to what you have said, nevertheless I refer myself solely to your highness. You have hitherto been gracious to me, and reputed me as one of your family, and not amongst the meanest of your servants. I never demerited your favor, but how, in being at this tournament with my brother, whom I could not deny; and if all who were there should be thus disinherited, you would raise no small disturbances in your realm. Far be it from a good king, that I should suffer for the faults of all, and that amongst so great a number be the first punished." The king soon after, through the intercession of the Bishop of Durham, vouchsafed him livery of the earldom and the marshal's office. He married Margaret Quincy, daughter of Robert de Quincy, but dying s. p. in 1245, was succeeded by his only remaining brother, Anseleme.

Eve married William V "Black Will" 6TH BARON OF BRAOSE. William (son of Reginald DE BRAOSE and Groecia (Alice) BRUERE) was born about 1180 in Brecknock, Surrey, England; died on 2 May 1230. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Humphrey de Bohun V. was born in 1208. He succeeded his father as Earl of Hereford, and possessing the honor of Essex through his mother, was created Earl of that county by King Henry III., at whose marriage he performed the office of marshal in the king's house, and in three years afterwards in the year 1239, was one of the godfathers at the font, for Edward, eldest son of the king, there being no less than nine sponsors on the occasion, 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, he was present, with other peers, 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 Fryers Augustines, in Broad-street, within the city of London. In the great contest between the king and the barons, he fought for the latter at Evesham, where he was taken prisoner, but he did not long continue in bondage, for we find him soon after again in favor, and receiving new grants from the crown. He died in 1275, having married (1) Maud of Eu (or of Lusignan), daughter of Ralph (Raoul I.) of Lusignan, Count of Eu, by Yolande his wife, daughter of Robert, Count of Dreux, Earl of Ewe.

Notes:

Humphrey de Bohun VI, the eldest son, was 2nd Earl of Hereford and Essex. He was a very distinguished person among the rebellious barons, in the reign of King Henry III. In 1257 he was among those who assisted his father to keep the marches between Montgomery and the lands of the Earl of Gloucester, and in 1263 was ordered to join his father at Hereford to defend the lands and fortify the castles on the marches against Llewellyn. He joined the barons against the king, and on July 23, 1264 had custody of the castle of Winchester, which he was ordered to surrender on June 3, 1265. In the 47th year of that monarch he was excommunicated, with Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester, and others, for plundering various churches and committing sacrilege. He was afterwards one of the commanders at the battle of Lewes, where the king was made prisoner, and was constituted Governor of Goodrich and Winchester Castles. In the year following he commanded the infantry at the battle of Evesham, where he fell into the hands of the royalists, and was sent prisoner to Beeston Castle in Cheshire, where he soon afterwards on October 27, 1265, died during his father's lifetime, leaving a son, Humphrey, by his wife, Eleanor (Alianore) Braose, daughter and co-heir of William de Braose, of Brecknock, Lord of Abergavenny, and co-heir of her mother Eve (Eva) Marshal, one of the five daughters and co-heirs of William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke, and sister of William Marshal, Surety to the Magna Charta. He was succeeded by his son, Humphrey.

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.
