(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.
