Humphrey I de Bohun
Humphrey I de Bohun (died c.1123) was an
Anglo-Norman aristocrat, the youngest son of
Humphrey with the Beard, who had taken part in the
Norman conquest of England in 1066. He married Maud, a daughter of the
Anglo-Saxon landholder
Edward of Salisbury, through whom he acquired an
honour in
Wiltshire with its seat at
Trowbridge. He was succeeded by his son
Humphrey II, who with his mother founded the
Cluniac priory of
Monkton Farleigh to fulfill the late Humphrey's wishes. By his marriage he was "the founder of the fortunes of his family" and for this reason is usually enumerated "Humphrey I" even though he was the second Humphrey de Bohun in England.
He has even been called
Humphrey the Great.
