HUMPHREY [I] de Bohun [Bohon, in Normandy], son of --- (-after 1092). A manuscript which narrates the descents of the founders of Lanthony Abbey records that လdominus Hunfredus de Bohun, cum barbaဝ accompanied William လthe Conquerorဝ to England, adding that he was လcognatusဝ of William[421]. "ဦUnfredi de Bohun et Richardi filii eius necnon Ingulfi eiusdem loci canoniciဦ" are named as witnesses at the court of William I King of England in the charter dated to [1081] which records an agreement between the monks of Marmoutier and "Gaufridus Nervei filius"[422]. Domesday Book records "Humphrey de Bohun" holding Tatterford in Norfolk[423]. A charter dated 1092 records the claim by "Richard de Mereio son of Humfrey de Bohonio" for a field near the monastery of Bohun from the monks of Marmoutier, a settlement being confirmed by the monks receiving "one of his little sons (parvulis) Humfreyဦ[to] teach him until he reached the age at which he could be a monk if he wished", with the consent of "uxor eius domina Luc[i]a et filii eius Rotbertus, Hainricus, Hunfridus, Havidis filia eorum" and witnessed by "Hunfrido patre eorum, Ricardo filio suo"[424]. Thomas Stapleton, in his "Observations on the Great Rolls of the Exchequer of Normandy" on the roll dated 1198, states that "Humphrey de Bohon" donated part of the fief of Puchay to the monastery of Saint-Leger at Préaux, with the consent of "his sons Robert and Richard", undated, but he does not cite the source reference[425].
m firstly ---. "Humfrey de Buhun" donated tithes to Rouen Saint-Amand "for himself and iii uxoribus suis" by charter dated to before 1066, signed by "Willelmi comitis et Normannorum ducis"[426].
m secondly ---. "Humfrey de Buhun" donated tithes to Rouen Saint-Amand "for himself and iii uxoribus suis" by charter dated to before 1066, signed by "Willelmi comitis et Normannorum ducis"[427].
m thirdly (before 1066) ---. "Humfrey de Buhun" donated tithes to Rouen Saint-Amand "for himself and iii uxoribus suis" by charter dated to before 1066, signed by "Willelmi comitis et Normannorum ducis"[428].
Humphrey [I] & his [first/second/third] wife had six children:
1. ROBERT . Thomas Stapleton, in his "Observations on the Great Rolls of the Exchequer of Normandy" on the roll dated 1198, states that "Humphrey de Bohon" donated part of the fief of Puchay to the monastery of Saint-Leger at Préaux, with the consent of "his sons Robert and Richard", undated, but he does not cite the source reference[429].
2. RICHARD de Méry (-before 1131). Thomas Stapleton, in his "Observations on the Great Rolls of the Exchequer of Normandy" on the roll dated 1198, states that "Humphrey de Bohon" donated part of the fief of Puchay to the monastery of Saint-Leger at Préaux, with the consent of "his sons Robert and Richard", undated, but he does not cite the source reference[430]. His epithet "de Méry" suggests that this was territory inherited from his mother. Thomas Stapleton identifies Méry as "Mareiumဦthe marshy territory along the banks of the river LမOuve in the vicinity of le Homme, otherwise LမIsle-Marie, adjacent to the communes of Liésville on one side and of Picauville on the other" and lists various donations by individuals named "de Mareio"[431]. The dates of the documents in which Richard is named suggest that he may have been one of his fatherမs oldest children. "ဦUnfredi de Bohun et Richardi filii eius necnon Ingulfi eiusdem loci canoniciဦ" are named as witnesses at the court of William I King of England in the charter dated to [1081] which records an agreement between the monks of Marmoutier and "Gaufridus Nervei filius"[432]. A charter dated 1092 records the claim by "Richard de Mereio son of Humfrey de Bohonio" for a field near the monastery of Bohun from the monks of Marmoutier, a settlement being confirmed by the monks receiving "one of his little sons (parvulis) Humfreyဦ[to] teach him until he reached the age at which he could be a monk if he wished", with the consent of "uxor eius domina Luc[i]a et filii eius Rotbertus, Hainricus, Hunfridus, Havidis filia eorum" and witnessed by "Hunfrido patre eorum, Ricardo filio suo"[433]. A charter dated 1093 records that "Richard de Mereio" confirmed the donation to the monks of St Martin made by "his father Humfrey" for "quendam monachum eiusdem loci fratrem suumဦIngelrannum who urged it on him and for love of a little boy of his whom he had given them to bring up and teach"[434]. Thomas Stapleton, in his "Observations on the Great Rolls of the Exchequer of Normandy" on the roll dated 1198, says that "in 1131 a proffer of sixty marks of silver would be owing from [Humphrey de Bohon the Kingမs steward] to the crown si poterit dirrationare terram de Meri", citing the 1129/30 Pipe Roll, which suggests that Richard de Méry had died before that date[435]. m (before 1092) LUCIE, daughter of ---. A charter dated 1092 records the claim by "Richard de Mereio son of Humfrey de Bohonio" for a field near the monastery of Bohun from the monks of Marmoutier, a settlement being confirmed by the monks receiving "one of his little sons (parvulis) Humfreyဦ[to] teach him until he reached the age at which he could be a monk if he wished", with the consent of "uxor eius domina Luc[i]a et filii eius Rotbertus, Hainricus, Hunfridus, Havidis filia eorum" and witnessed by "Hunfrido patre eorum, Ricardo filio suo"[436]. Domesday Descendants records that the mother of Ingelger [I] de Bohun was "Lucy brother of Alexander"[437]. Richard & his wife had seven children:
a) ROBERT .

b) HENRY . A charter dated 1092 records the claim by "Richard de Mereio son of Humfrey de Bohonio" for a field near the monastery of Bohun from the monks of Marmoutier, a settlement being confirmed by the monks receiving "one of his little sons (parvulis) Humfreyဦ[to] teach him until he reached the age at which he could be a monk if he wished", with the consent of "uxor eius domina Luc[i]a et filii eius Rotbertus, Hainricus, Hunfridus, Havidis filia eorum" and witnessed by "Hunfrido patre eorum, Ricardo filio suo"[439].
c) HUMPHREY . A charter dated 1092 records the claim by "Richard de Mereio son of Humfrey de Bohonio" for a field near the monastery of Bohun from the monks of Marmoutier, a settlement being confirmed by the monks receiving "one of his little sons (parvulis) Humfreyဦ[to] teach him until he reached the age at which he could be a monk if he wished", with the consent of "uxor eius domina Luc[i]a et filii eius Rotbertus, Hainricus, Hunfridus, Havidis filia eorum" and witnessed by "Hunfrido patre eorum, Ricardo filio suo"[440].
d) HAVIDE . A charter dated 1092 records the claim by "Richard de Mereio son of Humfrey de Bohonio" for a field near the monastery of Bohun from the monks of Marmoutier, a settlement being confirmed by the monks receiving "one of his little sons (parvulis) Humfreyဦ[to] teach him until he reached the age at which he could be a monk if he wished", with the consent of "uxor eius domina Luc[i]a et filii eius Rotbertus, Hainricus, Hunfridus, Havidis filia eorum" and witnessed by "Hunfrido patre eorum, Ricardo filio suo"[441].
e) INGELGER [I] de Bohun (-[1172]). "ဦEngelgerius de Bohun, Alexander de Bohunဦ" witnessed the charter dated to [end 1150/early Sep 1151] under which "H. dux Normannorum" granted privileges to the citizens of Rouen[442]. His grant to the priory of Saint-Georges de Bohon names his deceased first wife and his second wife[443]. Henry II King of England confirmed the property of the abbey of Blanchelande, including donations by "Engelgerius de BohonဦRicardus AvenelဦDoon Bardouf et Thomas frater eiusဦ", by charter dated 1157[444]. The 1157 Pipe Roll records "Engelgero de Buhun" at "Blochesha", yielding Ⴄ20, in Oxfordshire[445]. "Engelger de Bohon" donated property to St Georges de Bohun "desiring for the weal of his wife Adelisa and his father Richard de Meri" by charter dated to [1155/65][446]. The Red Book of the Exchequer records enfeoffments in the duchy of Normandy in [1172], "Engelger de Boun" with two knights and seven knights "in Costentino" in his own service[447]. m firstly MATHILDE, daughter of ---. Domesday Descendants records that Ingelger donated property to the priory of Saint-Georges de Bohon naming "a deceased wife Mathilde andဦhis present wife Adelise"[448]. m secondly as her second husband, ADELISE d'Aumâle, widow of ROBERT [II] Bertrand Seigneur de Briquebec, daughter of ETIENNE Comte d'Aumâle & his wife Hawise de Mortemer (-before [1168]). Domesday Descendants records that Ingelger donated property to the priory of Saint-Georges de Bohon naming "a deceased wife Mathilde andဦhis present wife Adelise"[449]. "Adeliza daughter of [Stephen] count Albemaris" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte for the souls of "Engelger her husband and Robert Bertrand her son" by charter dated to [1151/77][450]. [The 1166/67 Pipe Roll records "Aliz de Bohun" accounting for "Aldewurda" in Berkshire[451]. The identity of "Aliz de Bohun" is uncertain, although the second wife of Ingelger [I] de Bohun is the only person with a similar name who has so far been identified around that time period. The previous yearမs Pipe Roll includes no Bohun entries for Berkshire.]
f) ALEXANDER de Bohun (-[1153]). Steward of Henri Comte d'Anjou and Duke of Normandy (later Henry II King of England) at Falaise, Argentan and Domfront[452]. "ဦAlexandro de Bohunဦ" witnessed the charter dated to [1146/50] under which "G. dux Norm et comes Andဦ" confirmed the rights of the abbey of Saint-Wandrille[453]. "ဦEngelgerius de Bohun, Alexander de Bohunဦ" witnessed the charter dated to [end 1150/early Sep 1151] under which "H. dux Normannorum" granted privileges to the citizens of Rouen[454].
g) MURIEL de Bohun . Domesday Descendants states that Savari de Beaumont married "Muriel daughter of Richard de Meri, the Norman heir of Humphrey de Bohun" but does not cite the corresponding primary source[455]. Her family origin is indicated by a charter of King Richard I dated 31 Mar 1190 confirming "Ford, Climpling, Rustinton, Presteton and Lovintoဦin the county of Sussex" to "Francus de Bohun", to hold in the same way as "Savaric son of Savaric, heir of Enjulger de Bohon" had held[456]. "Savaric son of Cana and Muriel his wife" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Martin, Sees by charter dated to [1105], witnessed by "ဦRadulfus et Savarico filii ipsius Savarici"[457]. m SAVARY FitzCana, son of RAOUL [IV] Vicomte du Maine & his second wife Cana --- .
h) [daughter . Thomas Stapleton, in his "Observations on the Great Rolls of the Exchequer of Normandy" on the roll dated 1198, says that "a daughter of Richard de Meri was apparently the wife of one Engelger, a Norman of the Cotentin, who in 1130 was instrumental in making peace between Henry I and his favourite Geoffrey de Clinton", referring as "proof of this conjecture" to "a recital as to tenure of certain land in Oxfordshire, which dates from the time of King John, that Hugh de Plaiz held seven hides in Bereford (Little Barford) which had been given to Richard de Meriဦ[who] had given them to Enjugier de Bohun in frank-marriage andဦthe said Enjugier gave them to the ancestor of Hugh de Plaiz", but he does not cite the source reference[458]. m ENGELGER, son of --- (-after 1130).]
3. INGELRAM [Ingulf] (-after 1093). Monk at Marmoutier. "ဦUnfredi de Bohun et Richardi filii eius necnon Ingulfi eiusdem loci canoniciဦ" are named as witnesses at the court of William I King of England in the charter dated to [1081] which records an agreement between the monks of Marmoutier and "Gaufridus Nervei filius"[459]. A charter dated 1093 records that "Richard de Mereio" confirmed the donation to the monks of St Martin made by "his father Humfrey" for "quendam monachum eiusdem loci fratrem suumဦIngelrannum who urged it on him and for love of a little boy of his whom he had given them to bring up and teach"[460].
4. daughter . Nun at Saint-Leger, Préaux. Thomas Stapleton, in his "Observations on the Great Rolls of the Exchequer of Normandy" on the roll dated 1198, states that "Humphrey de Bohon" confirmed his donation of the tithe of "Barbivilla and the church of Notre-Dame de Brevans" to the monastery of Saint-Leger at Préaux for "a second daughter of his admitted into the monastery", with the consent of his sons "Richard and Humphrey and Ralph du Cotentin their cousin", undated, but he does not cite the source reference[461].
5. daughter . Nun at Saint-Leger, Préaux. Thomas Stapleton, in his "Observations on the Great Rolls of the Exchequer of Normandy" on the roll dated 1198, states that "Humphrey de Bohon" confirmed his donation of the tithe of "Barbivilla and the church of Notre-Dame de Brevans" to the monastery of Saint-Leger at Préaux for "a second daughter of his admitted into the monastery", with the consent of his sons "Richard and Humphrey and Ralph du Cotentin their cousin", undated, but he does not cite the source reference[462].
6. ADELA de Bohun (-after 1130). The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Adele amite Unf de Buhun" in Wiltshire[463]. same person asဦ? ADELISA [de Bohun] . "Main pater Willelmi de Albinico, Adelisa, Hunfredus de Buun avunculus eiusဦWillelmu[us] de Albiniocဦ" are listed in the Liber Vitæ of Thorney abbey[464]. The chronology of the Albini Brito family (descended from Adelisa and her husband) is difficult to determine precisely, but it appears possible that "Hunfredus de Buun", who is named in the Thorney list as "avunculus" of William [I] de Albini Brito, was Humphrey [II] de Bohun, in which case Williamမs mother may have been Humphreyမs sister who is named Adela in the 1130 Pipe Roll. m MAIN, son of ---.
Humphrey & his [third] wife had one child:
7. HUMPHREY [II] de Bohun (-[1128/29]). A manuscript which narrates the descents of the founders of Lanthony Abbey names လdominum Hunfredum de Bohun secundumဝ as son of လdominus Hunfredus de Bohun, cum barbaဝ[465]. The estimated date of Humphreyမs marriage suggests that he was born from his fatherမs third marriage, or even from a later marriage contracted after the conquest of England. "ဦHumphrey de Bohunဦ" witnessed the charter dated 13 Jan 1103 under which Henry I King of England confirmed an agreement between the abbot of Fécamp and Philip de Braose[466]. "ဦHumphrey de Bohunဦ" (signing first among the noblemen whose names followed the earls in the list) witnessed the charter dated [1 Aug] 1107 under which Henry I King of England confirmed a donation made by Richard de Reviers to Montebourg abbey[467]. "ဦHumphrey de Bohunဦ" witnessed the charter dated 2 Mar [1113] under which King Henry I confirmed a grant made by Raoul de Fougères relating to the forest of Savigny[468]. "ဦHumphrey de Bohunဦ" witnessed the charter dated [Jun 1119] under which King Henry I confirmed a fair at Nostell to the canons of St Oswald[469].

The Book of Lacock names လMatildamဝ as daughter of လEdwardumဦvicecomitem Wiltesဝ, adding that she married လHumphridus de Bohunဝ[471]. The Complete Peerage states that the marriage was arranged "at the instance (it is said)" of King William II, citing Dugdale[472]. A manuscript which narrates the descents of the founders of Lanthony Abbey names လdominum Hunfredum de Bohun secundumဝ married လMatildem filiam Edwardi de Salesburyဝ, adding that she brought လWeston juxta Salesbury, et Walton, Newenton, Piryton, Staunton, Trobregeဦဝ to her husband[473]. Humphrey [II] & his wife had two children:
a) HUMPHREY [III] de Bohun ([1100/10][474]-[1164/65]). A manuscript which narrates the descents of the founders of Lanthony Abbey names ·ÄúHumfredus tertius de Bohun et Matildis·Äù as the children of ·Äúdominum Hunfredum de Bohun secundum·Äù and his wife ·ÄúMatildem filiam Edwardi de Salesbury·Äù[475].

Excerpted from Les Seigneurs de Bohon by Jean LeMelletier, Coutances: Arnaud-Bellee, 1978. http://mahan.wonkwang.ac.kr/link/med/society/class/Bohun/bohon.html
HUMPHREY THE OLD (died before 1093) was a modest Norman nobleman. He gained his fortune at an early age by accompanying William the Conqueror on his grand adventure. He founded the Bohon priory in Normandy and gave birth to two branches of the family.
(Honfroy, Onfrei, Onfroi, Unfridus, Humfridus)
Humphrey I, also called The Old, was the founder of the house of Bohon. He is mainly known as a companion of William the Conqueror at the conquest of England and as the founder of the Bohon priory. Old English books designate him Humfridus cum Barba or Humphrey with the Beard. His beard distinguished him from other Norman knights of the period because they habitually shaved.
Humphrey was the godfather of William and was certainly close to him because we see the names of William, duchess Mathilde, and their children associated with Humphrey's children.
The oldest mention of Humphrey that we know of is in William's journals. It confirms a donation made at the abbey of St. Trinite du Mont at Rouen by Gilbert, Osbern's vassal. William's signature is accompanied by that of Humphrey, son of Richard, listed with the rest of William's men.
In 1062 we find Humphrey again with William at the Hogue de Biville, along with Roger de Montgomery and William, son of Osbern. At a meal in the middle of the road, William said they should be free like the common people of the neighboring priory of Heauville. In recounting the story, a monk said that a fellow diner criticized William's liberalism. Not taking too kindly to criticism, William threatened to strike him with a shoulder of pork.
According to a paper from about 1060, the knight Humphrey, a rich and noble man, granted the priory he founded, St. Georges de Bohon, to the abbey of St. Martin of Marmoutier. Humphrey tells us
with the inspiration of God and the patronage of lord earl William for the relief of my soul, and those of the late Richard of Mary, my father, and of the late Billeheude, my mother...in the octave of the Pentecost before the venerable father Geoffrey, bishop of Coutances... I protect the abbey of St. Martin, the servants Arnouf, Heribert, and Roger, and the other people whose names are inscribed here.
The authenticity of this act, of which the original documents were unfortunately destroyed, does not seem to bear to be contested.
The latest dates proposed for the founding of the priory come from dates of estate foundings (from Martene and Miss Gantier 1068; Gerville and the Bernard abbey 1092; L. Musset between 1066 & 1087). However, the title of earl was given to William before 1066 and the founding of the priory was earlier.
Originally the priory was settled by four secular canons. The act of including the priory with the abbey was precisely to entrust it with the lands of a knight. (A knight cared for and protected his lands and those who lived there from thieves, warring lords, etc.)
In later years St. Martin became very popular. It was at Marmoutier that William himself joined the Battle Abbey, founded to commemorate the Battle of Hastings where it was fought.
A document signed by Sir William, duke of the Normands, before 1066 shows that Humphrey de Bohon gave a garden from his fief (holdings) in Puchay to the nuns of St. Amand in Rouen for the repose of his soul and those of his three wives when one of his daughters became religious.
The monastery of St. Leger in Preaux was given the deeds to Barbeville, St. Marie's Church, the town of Carentan, and the neighboring rectory. Later Humphrey bequeathed the monastery a convent that his second daughter entered. Humphrey's sons Robert and Richard agreed with his actions.
By 1066 Humphrey had been married three times, two daughters had entered the convent, and sons Robert and Richard were old enough to assume their inheritance. Humphrey was a senior citizen.
Wace cited among the soldiers of Hastings: E de Bohon the older Humphrey.
Humphrey's name, a bit distorted, is seen on a majority of other lists of William's battle companions. As Wace's poem was written more than a hundred years after the events happened, some feel that Humphrey was not among the people at the Battle of Hastings. Taking into account the type of document (poem), it is very probable that Humphrey did participate in the battle. He was also with several neighbors of Cotentin and probably vassals, whose names were associated with his.
On the Bayeux tapestry, in a meal scene presided over by Bishop Odo, a bearded man is sitting to William's right. It is possible that this is Humphrey de Bohon--with the Beard--who would occupy a place of honor at the table out of respect for his age.
Ten years after Hastings, William was in England, so Queen Mathilda was left in charge of the government in Normandy. We know Humphrey was also in Normandy because of the act of Cherbourg, about 1076. Under the king's orders, he rendered justice with the monks at the Heauville priory against Bertram de Bricquebec, viscount of Cotentin, who had levied unfair taxes on his people.
Humphrey is mentioned in the Domesday Book (a great census taken of all the lands and people in England as ordered by William, between 1080 and 1086) as a champion and defender of the throne, and as lord of Taterford in Norfolk. Much of his wealth is attributed to the goodwill of William and the spoils of the campaigns, which was not a unique situation. However, the possession of large estates and properties in England was not all fun; they were hard to protect from raiders and warring lords. Humphrey probably also benefitted from Normandy's continued growth and profits from his holdings.
Humphrey's signature is on a treaty at Bayeaux. The king presided over the treaty between the abbey of Mont St. Michel and William Paynel.
Two documents of Boscherville on 30 January 1080, with the signatures of his son Richard, and William, Mathilda, and their two sons. One is the endowment of the church of St. Georges de Boscherville; the other documents a gift of St. Gervais Church and St. Portais to St. Florent de Saumur with other revenues by William de Briouze.
A document of William the Conqueror at Caen confirming the foundation of the Lessay Abbey on 14 July 1080.
Another document for the foundation of the Montebourg Abbey.
Humphrey's decision to combine the priory with the abbey was contested by Geoffrey (son of Nervee) who reclaimed the priory. The case was settled in favor of Humphrey by a judgment of the king's court on 27 December 1080 at Cherbourg. Among the witnesses were Humphrey de Bohon, his son Richard, and Torchetil de Bohon.
Continually Humphrey added his border lands to his holdings. In answer to his request, he received a formal deed from King William at Bernouville, probably at the end of 1081.
Other religious establishments benifitted from his generosity.
Humphrey died between 1080 and 1093. He had four sons that we know of: Robert, Humphrey, Richard, and Enguerran, and two daughters. Robert died young, before his father. Enguerran became a monk at Marmoutier in the Bohon priory. Richard began another branch, whose descendants include (in France) Enjuger de Bohon and Richard de Bohon, bishop of Coutances, and (in England) the Bohons of Midhurst, Jocelin, bishop of Salisbury, and Reginald and Savary, bishops of Bath. Humphrey became the illustrious ancestor of the earls of Hereford.

Adelesia de Bohun was a daughter of Humphrey ·Äúthe Bearded·Äù de Bohun.[13] and appeared on the 1129 Pipe Roll for Wiltshire as an aunt of Humphrey de Bohun III on land that was granted by her brother, Humphrey II. Adalesia·Äôs father received lands in Tatterford, Norfolk after the conquest which was only two miles north of Raynham where she probably met Main.[14] Humphrey was from St. Georges de Bohun on the Cotentin Peninsula and was son of Richard de Meri and Billehuede.[15] Humphrey I was the father of several sons, including Robert, who died before 1093, Richard de Meri, who occurs in Domesday Book, Humphrey (d.c. 1129), who married Mabel daughter of Edward of Salisbury and Ingelger, a monk of Saint-Georges de Bohon and the aforementioned, Adela (Adelesia) who occurs on the 1130 Pipe Roll as aunt of Humphrey de Bohun III. Humphrey I was also a benefactor of Saint-Leger des Preaux, where two of his daughters were nuns. He was dead by 1093, when his son Richard de Meri was in control of most of the Norman inheritance.[16] Humphrey's lands at Carentan and the English manor in Norfolk went to his younger son Humphrey II. In charters, Humphrey is stated to be a ·Äúkinsman·Äù to William the Conquerer, probably a distant cousin.

He was a cousin of William the Conqueror.

Humphrey I "the Bearded," seigneur de Bohon, was designated in Old English books as Humfridus cum Barba or Humphrey with the Beard, because his beard distinguished him from other Norman knights of the period (they habitually shaved).

Humphrey was mentioned in the Domesday Book as a champion and defender of the throne, and as lord of Taterford in Norfolk.

Lord of Waterford (Ireland). King William I gave him lands in Ireland.

Humphrey with the Beard (died before 1113) was a Norman soldier and landed aristocrat who took part in the Norman conquest of England as one of the original companions at Hastings.[1]

Humphrey may have been a relative of William the Conqueror, probably through one of Humphrey's marriages. He was married three times, as his donation of a plow and garden to the nuns of Abbaye Saint-Amand at Rouen states, but the names of his wives are unknown. This donation is witnessed by William as comes (count), indicating that he had not yet succeeded to the throne of England and was still only Duke of Normandy. This suggests that Humphrey was advanced in age by 1066, which corroborates the description of him given at line 13,583 of the Roman de Rou of Wace: De Bohun le Vieil Onfrei ("from Bohun the old Humphrey").[1] His nickname, "with the beard" (cum barba), was a distinguishing one in eleventh-century Normandy, where the custom was to shave the face and back of the head.[2]
At the time of the Conquest Humphrey possessed the honour of Bohun (today comprising two communes, Saint-André-de-Bohon and Saint-Georges-de-Bohon) in western Normandy. After the Conquest he received an honour with its seat at Tatterford in Norfolk, as recorded in Domesday Book (1086). The small size of his reward in England, despite his relations with William's family, may be a result of his age. He later donated the church of Saint-Georges-de-Bohon to the Abbey of Marmoutier. By his wives he left three sons and two daughters. His eldest son, Robert, predeceased him unmarried, and his second son, Richard, was the progenitor, in the female line, of the Bohuns of Midhurst. His youngest son and namesake is commonly numbered Humphrey I because by his marriage he was "the founder of the fortunes of his family".[1] [edit]

Baron of Taterford; born in Aynho, Oxfordshire, England.

However, the possession of large estates and properties in England was not all fun; they were hard to protect from raiders and warring lords. Humphrey probably also benefitted from Normandy's continued growth and profits from his holdings.

Humphrey, a kinsman and companion in arms of William the Conqueror, was generally known as "Humphrey with the Beard." He was the founder of the house of Bohun in England. He was slenderly rewarded for his prowess at Hastings. Wace speaks of him as among the foremost in the battle; yet all he received was the Norfolk manor of Taterford (Talesford). It was the extraordinary succession of great alliances made by his descendants that gave the name its lustre and wealth of accumulated dignities.

Two leagues south of Carentan, in a low and isolated situation, adjoining the Marshes of the Taute, are the two villages called the Bohons -- the parishes of St. Georges and St. Andre-de-Bohon -- that gave their name to this illustrious house. They belong to the arrondisement of St. Lo, in the Cotentin. The site of the castle, with its moat, is plainly visible near St. Andre. Humphrey de Bohun founded a Benedictine priory at St. Georges in 1092.
The following material is excerpted from Les Seigneurs de Bohon (The Noblemen of Bohun) by Jean LeMelletier, Coutances: Arnaud-Bellee, 1978. This was translated from French to English by a friend. The book was found at UCLA's Research Library as CS 439 D416L45 1978.
Humphrey I
(Honfroy, Onfrei, Onfroi, Unfridus, Humfridus)
Humphrey I, also called The Old, was the founder of the house of Bohon. He is mainly known as a companion of William the Conqueror at the conquest of England and as the founder of the Bohon priory. Old English books designate him Humfridus cum Barba or Humphrey with the Beard. His beard distinguished him from other Norman knights of the period because they habitually shaved. Humphrey was the godfather of William and was certainly close to him because we see the names of William, duchess Mathilde, and their children associated with Humphrey's children. The oldest mention of Humphrey that we know of is in William's journals. It confirms a donation made at the abbey of St. Trinite du Mont at Rouen by Gilbert, Osbern's vassal. William's signature is accompanied by that of Humphrey, son of Richard, listed with the rest of William's men. In 1062 we find Humphrey again with William at the Hogue de Biville, along with Roger de Montgomery and William, son of Osbern. At a meal in the middle of the road, William said they should be free like the common people of the neighboring priory of Heauville. In recounting the story, a monk said that a fellow diner criticized William's liberalism. Not taking too kindly to criticism, William threatened to strike him with a shoulder of pork. According to a paper from about 1060, the knight Humphrey, a rich and noble man, granted the priory he founded, St. Georges de Bohon, to the abbey of St. Martin of Marmoutier. Humphrey tells us:
with the inspiration of God and the patronage of lord earl William for the relief of my soul, and those of the late Richard of Mary, my father, and of the late Billeheude, my mother...in the octave of the Pentecost before the venerable father Geoffrey, bishop of Coutances... I protect the abbey of St. Martin, the servants Arnouf, Heribert, and Roger, and the other people whose names are inscribed here.
The authenticity of this act, of which the original documents were unfortunately destroyed, does not seem to bear to be contested.
The latest dates proposed for the founding of the priory come from dates of estate foundings (from Martene and Miss Gantier 1068; Gerville and the Bernard abbey 1092; L. Musset between 1066 & 1087). However, the title of earl was given to William before 1066 and the founding of the priory was earlier. Originally the priory was settled by four secular canons. The act of including the priory with the abbey was precisely to entrust it with the lands of a knight. (A knight cared for and protected his lands and those who lived there from thieves, warring lords, etc.)
In later years St. Martin became very popular. It was at Marmoutier that William himself joined the Battle Abbey, founded to commemorate the Battle of Hastings where it was fought. A document signed by Sir William, duke of the Normands, before 1066 shows that Humphrey de Bohon gave a garden from his fief (holdings) in Puchay to the nuns of St. Amand in Rouen for the repose of his soul and those of his three wives when one of his daughters became religious.
The monastery of St. Leger in Preaux was given the deeds to Barbeville, St. Marie's Church, the town of Carentan, and the neighboring rectory. Later Humphrey bequeathed the monastery a convent that his second daughter entered. Humphrey's sons Robert and Richard agreed with his actions.
By 1066 Humphrey had been married three times, two daughters had entered the convent, and sons Robert and Richard were old enough to assume their inheritance. Humphrey was a senior citizen.

Ten years after Hastings, William was in England, so Queen Mathilda was left in charge of the government in Normandy. We know Humphrey was also in Normandy because of the act of Cherbourg, about 1076. Under the king's orders, he rendered justice with the monks at the Heauville priory against Bertram de Bricquebec, viscount of Cotentin, who had levied unfair taxes on his people.

However, the possession of large estates and properties in England was not all fun; they were hard to protect from raiders and warring lords. Humphrey probably also benefitted from Normandy's continued growth and profits from his holdings.
Humphrey's signature is on:
A treaty at Bayeaux. The king presided over the treaty between the abbey of Mont St. Michel and William Paynel.
Two documents of Boscherville on 30 January 1080, with the signatures of his son Richard, and William, Mathilda, and their two sons. One is the endowment of the church of St. Georges de Boscherville; the other documents a gift of St. Gervais Church and St. Portais to St. Florent de Saumur with other revenues by William de Briouze.
A document of William the Conqueror at Caen confirming the foundation of the Lessay Abbey on 14 July 1080.
Another document for the foundation of the Montebourg Abbey.
Humphrey's decision to combine the priory with the abbey was contested by Geoffrey (son of Nervee) who reclaimed the priory. The case was settled in favor of Humphrey by a judgment of the king's court on 27 December 1080 at Cherbourg. Among the witnesses were Humphrey de Bohon, his son Richard, and Torchetil de Bohon.
Continually Humphrey added his border lands to his holdings. In answer to his request, he received a formal deed from King William at Bernouville, probably at the end of 1081.
Other religious establishments benefitted from his generosity.
Humphrey died between 1080 and 1093. He had four sons that we know of: Robert, Humphrey, Richard, and Enguerran, and two daughters. Robert died young, before his father. Enguerran became a monk at Marmoutier in the Bohon priory. Richard began another branch, whose descendents include (in France) Enjuger de Bohon and Richard de Bohon, bishop of Coutances, and (in England) the Bohons of Midhurst, Jocelin, bishop of Salisbury, and Reginald and Savary, bishops of Bath. Humphrey became the illustrious ancestor of the earls of Hereford.

Notes: Following tradition, the Mari family lived in the community of St. Come du Mont (Normandy). There was a Mari Street named after Ralph, first sire de Mari, friend of the sire of Sainte Marie du Mont and the dukes of Denmark. According to legend, Ralph was secretly married to the daughter of the lord of Mont Haguez. They had a son, Richard I de Mari, or Richard the Old, who is attributed with the founding of the churches of Sainte Come du Mont, de Bohon, and de Meautis in 950. Richard de Mari (or Meri) married Billeheude (Billeheust). This information comes from a document concerning the Bohon priory. Billeheude is sometimes considered the daughter of a certain Richard de Billeheust or Richard de Saint Sauveur. In the family we find a Bileud or Bilelde, but at a later date she is considered the daughter of Neel II of Saint Saveur, one of the principal barons who revolted against William the Bastard during his youth. Because of the uncertain relations with the Norsemen who landed at Contentin and their chief, Rollo, there was a strong desire to unite the conquering and native peoples. The Mari family also desired to hold onto their Christian origins and remain loyal to the dukes of Normandy. Richard de Mari had three sons: Richard, Humphrey, and Enjuger.

Died: BEF 1113
Notes: is said to have been a kinsman and a companion in arms of William the Conqueror. Humphrey was the godfather of William and was certainly close to him because we see the names of William, duchess Mathilde, and their children associated with Humphrey's children. Old English books designate him Humfridus cum Barba or Humphrey with the Beard. His beard distinguished him from other Norman knights of the period because they habitually shaved. He was in possession of the lordship of Taterford in Norfolk. This family originated from Bohon in the arrondissement of St. Lo in the Cotentin, Normandy, where there still exists St. Andre and St. Georges De Bohon. The mound of the old castle is still visible. Humphrey is reported in the chronicles of Wace as the companion of the Conqueror at Senlac. He is reputed to have been a near kinsman of Duke William, but how or in what degree is unknown. The fact remains that the witnesses to the Benedictine priory at St George's in 1092, were all members of King William's immediate family or branches thereof. Humphrey is mentioned in the Domesday Book (a great census taken of all the lands and people in England as ordered by William, between 1080 and 1086) as a champion and defender of the throne, and as lord of Taterford in Norfolk. Much of his wealth is attributed to the goodwill of William and the spoils of the campaigns, which was not a unique situation. However, the possession of large estates and properties in England was not all fun; they were hard to protect from raiders and warring lords. Humphrey probably also benefitted from Normandy's continued growth and profits from his holdings. Father: Henry De BOHUN (Sir)
