Chester.

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.**
