BOHUN , the name of a See also:family which plays an important See also:part in See also:English See also:history during the'3th and 14th centuries; it was taken from a See also:village situated in the Cotentin between See also:Coutances and the See also:estuary of the See also:Vire. The Bohuns came into See also:England at, or shortly after, the See also:Norman See also:Conquest; but their See also:early history there is obscure. The founder of their greatness was See also:Humphrey
IV., he was succeeded in the family estates by his See also:grandson See also:- HENRY

William the See also:Lion; an See also:alliance which no doubt assisted him to obtain the earldom of See also:Hereford from See also:John (1199). The lands of the family See also:lay chiefly on the Welsh See also:Marches, and from this date the Bohuns take a foremost See also:place among the Marcher barons. Henry de Bohun figures with the earls of See also:Clare and See also:Gloucester among the twenty-five barons who were elected by their See also:fellows to enforce the terms of the See also:Great See also:Charter. In the subsequent See also:civil See also:war he fought on the See also:side of See also:- LOUIS

Louis, and was captured at the See also:battle of See also:Lincoln (1217). He took the See also:cross in the same See also:year and died on his See also:pilgrimage (See also:June 1, 1220). Humphrey V., his son and See also:heir, returned to the path of See also:loyalty, and was permitted, some See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

time before 1239, to inherit the earldom of See also:Essex from his maternal See also:uncle, William de See also:Mandeville. But in 1258 this Humphrey See also:fell away, like his See also:father, from the royal to the baronial cause. He served as a nominee of the opposition on the See also:committee of twenty-four which was appointed, in the See also:- OXFORD

Oxford See also:parliament of that year, to reform the See also:administration. It was only the alliance of See also:Montfort with See also:Llewelyn of See also:North See also:Wales that brought the See also:earl of Hereford back to his See also:allegiance.
Humphrey V. headed the first See also:secession of the Welsh Marchers from the party of the opposition (1263), and was amongst the captives whom the Montfortians took at See also:Lewes. The earl's son and name-See also:sake was on the victorious side, and shared in the defeat of See also:Evesham, which he did not See also:long survive. Humphrey V. was, therefore, naturally selected as one of the twelve arbitrators to draw up the See also:ban of See also:Kenilworth (1266), by which the disinherited rebels were allowed to make their See also:peace. Dying in 1275, he was succeeded by his grandson Humphrey VII. This Bohun lives in history as one of the recalcitrant barons of the year 1297, who extorted from See also:Edward I. the Confirmatio Cartarum.
The motives of the earl's See also:defiance were not altogether disinterested. He had suffered twice from the chicanery of Edward's lawyers; in 1284 when a dispute between himself and the royal favourite, John See also:Giffard, was decided in the latter's favour; and again in 1292 when he was punished with temporary imprisonment and See also:sequestration for a technical, and apparently unwitting, contempt of the See also:- KING

king's See also:court. In See also:company, therefore, with the earl of See also:Norfolk he refused to render See also:foreign service in See also:Gascony, on the plea that they were only See also:bound to serve with the king, who was himself bound for See also:Flanders. Their attitude brought to a See also:head the See also:general discontent which Edward had excited by his arbitrary See also:taxation; and Edward was obliged to make a surrender on all the subjects of complaint. At See also:Falkirk (1298) Humphrey VII. redeemed his See also:character for loyalty. His son, Humphrey VIII., who succeeded him in the same year, was allowed to marry one of the king's daughters, Eleanor, the widowed countess of See also:- HOLLAND

In 1310 Humphrey VIII. figured among the Lords Ordainers; though, with more patriotism than some of his See also:fellow-commissioners, he afterwards followed the king to See also:Bannockburn. He was taken See also:captive in the battle, but exchanged for the wife of See also:Robert See also:Bruce. Subsequently he returned to the cause of his See also:- ORDER

field of See also:Boroughbridge (1322). With him, as with his father, the politics of the Marches had been the See also:main See also:consideration; his final See also:change of side was due to See also:jealousy of the younger See also:Despenser, whose lordship of Glamorgan was too great for the comfort of the Bohuns in See also:Brecon. With the See also:death of Humphrey VIII. the fortunes of the family enter on a more peaceful See also:stage. Earl John (d. 1335) was inconspicuous; Humphrey IX. (d. 1361) merely distinguished himself as a See also:captain in the See also:Breton See also:campaigns of the See also:Hundred Years' War, winning the victories of See also:Morlaix (1342) and La See also:Roche Derrien (1347). His See also:nephew and heir, Humphrey X., who inherited the earldom of See also:Northampton from his father, was territorially the most important representative of the Bohuns. But the male See also:line was extinguished by his death (1373). The three earldoms and the broad lands of the Bohuns were divided between two co-heiresses.
Both married members of the royal house. The See also:elder, Eleanor, was given in 1374 to Thomas of See also:Woodstock, seventh son of Edward III.; the younger, See also:Mary, to Henry, earl of See also:Derby, son of John of Gaunt and afterwards Henry IV., in 1380 or 1381. From these two marriages sprang the houses of Lancaster and See also:Stafford.
