      (3) Humphrey de Bohun VIII: (b.1276, d.March 16, 1322 at the Battle of
      Boroughbridge, buried at Friars Preachers Church, County York).  He married
      November 25, 1302 at Westminster, Lady Elizabeth Plantagenet, daughter of King
      Edward I and widow of John, Count of Holland.  Humphrey was fourth Earl of
      Hereford and third Earl of Essex and Constable of England.  In 1301 he joined
      the barons in their letter of protest to the pope from the parliament of
      Lincoln.  He took a leading part in the tournaments of Fulham in 1305 and at
      Wallingford in 1307. In 1308 he was sent to Scotland to oppose Robert Bruce.
      He was one of the twenty-one ordainers appointed to reform the government and
      the king's household.  The ordinances were accepted in October 1311, but three
      months later the king recalled his banished favorite, Gaveston, and immediately
      the barons, including de Bohun, took arms against Gaveston, captured and
      beheaded him.  Edward was powerless to punish the rebellious lords;
      negotiations for peace were opened and in October 1313 the earls and their
      followers were pardoned.  In 1314 the war with Scotland was renewed and de
      Bohun was taken prisoner at the battle of Bannockburn.  He was later exchanged
      for Elizabeth, wife of Robert Bruce, King of Scotland, who had long been held
      captive in England.  During the next six years the resentment of the barons
      increased as the power of the two Despensers, father and son, grew over the
      king.  It finally came to a head at the battle of Boroughbridge in which the
      king finally defeated the barons and de Bohun lost his life.  Elizabeth was
      born August 5, 1282, Rhudlan Castle, County Carnarvon and died May 5, 1316 and
      was buried at Walden Abbey.  By her Humphrey had six sons and four daughters.
