  Excerpted from Les Seigneurs de Bohon by Jean LeMelletier, Co utances:
  Arnaud-Bellee, 1978:  Humphrey V, second earl of Hereford, first earl of
  Essex, and constable of England, was also called the good earl of
  Heref ord. He was a contemporary of Henry III and died 24 September
  1274/5. Born be fore 1208, Humphrey married twice. His first wife was Maud
  (Mathilda), daught er of Ralph
  of Lusignan, count d'Eu (who died 1219). His second wife was Maud
  (Mathilda) of Avebury, daughter and heiress of Roger of Tosny (who died
  126 4). Humphrey succeeded his father on 1 June 1220, then came into
  possession o f his lands and was confirmed earl of Hereford. After the
  death of his matern al uncle, William of Mandeville, he inherited the
  title of earl of Essex (28 April 1228). In 1227 Humphrey V helped solve a
  quarrel between Henry III and his brother, Richard, earl of Cornwall
  (whom Humphrey supported). He declared his intentions to postpone the
  judgment of the king's court and royal lords. The king refused and
  ordered him to submit or give up his titles. With other important barons
  Humphrey took the side of Richard. The conspirators raised an army, and
  at Stamford (Lincoln) they demanded the reinstatement of the ear l's
  duties, an apology, and the confirmation of the liberties guaranteed by
  the document. The king conceded. Humphrey was reinstated as marshall of
  the king's house. He served at the marriage of Henry III and Eleanor of
  Provence (1236), and was one of nine godfathers at the christening of the
  future Edwar d
  I (1239). In 1242 Henry III led an expedition to reconquer Poitou, which
  w as occupied by Louis VIII of France. Humphrey accompanied him in
  Gascogny, bu t became irritated by the influence of the
  strangers/counselors under the kin g. He returned to England with the duke
  of Cornwall. The expedition later end ed as a loss. Two years later with
  the earl of Clare, Humphrey took part in t he suppression of a Welsh
  revolt.  After an initial success, they were defeat ed, partly because the
  earl had been accused of embezzling part of the inheri tance of his
  sister-in-law, Isabelle (wife of David who was son of Llewelyn). In 1246
  Humphrey joined in a letter to Pope In
