Excerpted from Les Seigneurs de Bohon by Jean LeMelletier , Coutances:
Arnaud-Bellee, 1978: Humphrey III, lord of Trowbridge and constab le of
England, was very close to Henry I and later Henry II. He assisted
Em press Mathilda against King Stephen. Born in 1109, Humphrey died 6
April 1187 . He married Margery (Marguerite, Margaret), eldest daughter of
Milo of Glouc ester from whom he received the heriditary right to the
title of constable of England.
Humphrey III was steward and chancellor to Henry I, perhaps followin g his
father. He shared this post with Hugh Bigot/Bigod, Robert Haye, and Sim on

Bramford (Suffolk) to St. Ma ry d'Evreux. In 1139 Empress Mathilda arrived
in Sussex with her her half-bro ther, Robert of Gloucester, to reclaim the
inheritance of his father.
Humphr ey, at the instigation of his father-in-law, Milo de Gloucester,
rallied with Mathilda and defended Trowbridge against King Steven. During
the troublesome years of the anarchy that followed, Humphrey passionately
fought with Mathil da's loyal and true followers. He witnessed Milo being
named earl of Hereford in recognition of his (Milo's) services on 25 July
1141. Humphrey's signatur e is found on several documents in many English
villages. After initial succe ss, the Battle of Winchester (1141) marked a
