Narrative
[SUSANNA KEENE.FTW]
Excerpted from Les Seigneurs de Bohon by Jean LeMelletier,
Coutances:
Arnaud-Bellee, 1978: .The sources for this branch of the
Bohons, earls of Hereford, Essex, and Northampton, are all
English. The name Bohon was changed to Boun, Boon, Bowne, etc.
It was later considered to signify master or boss. Humfridus,
Onfroi, and Honfroy are translated as Humphrey. The frequent
repetition of the first name Humphrey causes a lot of
confusion. The English begin their line with the first Humphrey
born in Great Britain, who is our Humphrey II. Humphrey II,
known as Humphrey the Magnificent or Humphrey the Great,
benefitted from the favor of King William Rufus (son of William
the Conqueror). His signature is on a number of papers of Henry
I. Thus we can follow him around England (1103-1109), then in
Normandy at Avranches (1113) and Rouen (1119), then in England
(1121), back to Rouen (1125), and back to England (1128).
Humphrey II gave the church of Bishop Street in Salisbury
(Wiltshire) to the Lewes Abbey (next to Newhaven) and the
church of Cheleworth to the St. Dennis priory (Southampton). He
was a witness at the founding of Savigney Abbey by Ralph de
Fougeres. Humphrey married Maud (Mathilda or Mahaut, who died
1142), daughter of Edward de Salisbury, between 1087 and 1100.
The dowry gave him important estates in the Wiltshire area and
the barony of Trowbridge. This was the first of a series of
marriages which benefitted the Bohons. They had a daughter,
Maud, and a son, Humphrey III. Humphrey II died around 1129.
