Parentage

Humphrey de Bohun was the oldest son of Humphrey de Bohun and his first wife, Maud of Eu,[1] also called Maud de Lusignan.[2]

Marriages and Children

Humphrey married twice:

After 30 Jan 1242 (grant of her marriage) and before 15 February 1247/8 (when he and Eleanor had restitution of lands in Wales[2]%29 he married Eleanor de Braose or de Brewes.[1]

They had four children:

1. Humphrey, c.1248-1298[1][3]
2. Gilbert, living in 1327[1]
3. Eleanor de Bohun, d. 20 February 1313/4[1][4]
4. Margery de Bohun, c.1251-before 1304[1][5]

Before 7 October 1264 he married Joan de Quincy, who was 19 in 1264. They had no children.[1]

Research Notes

Estimated birth year: His birth date is uncertain, but was likely before 1230, considering his heir was born in September 1248.[3] His mother died in 1241, having borne eight children, of whom he was the eldest son[7], so he had to have been born no later than about 1234.

Disputed daughter: Some trees on the internet also show Humphrey de Bohun and Eleanor de Brewes with a daughter Mary, who married Raoul (Ralph) de Toeni.[8] No documentation has been found for such a daughter.
