  MEDI BookExcerpted from Les Seigneurs de Bohon by Jean LeMelletier, Coutances:
  Arnaud-Bellee, 1978: .The sources for this branch of the Bohons, earls of Hereford, Essex, an d Northampton, are all English. The name Bohon was changed to Boun, Boon, Bowne, etc. It wa s later
  considered to signify master or boss. Humfridus, Onfroi, and Honfroy are translated as Humph rey.  The frequent repetition of the first name Humphrey causes a lot of confusion. The Engli sh begin
  their line with the first Humphrey born in Great Britain, who is our Humphrey II.  Humphre y II, known as Humphrey the Magnificent or Humphrey the Great, benefitted from the favor of K ing William
  Rufus (son of William the Conqueror). His signature is on a number of papers of Henry I. Thu s we can follow him around England (1103-1109), then in Normandy at Avranches (1113) and Roue n (1119),
  then in England (1121), back to Rouen (1125), and back to England (1128).  Humphrey II gav e 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 Sa vigney 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 Wilt shire area and the barony of Trowbridge. This was the first of a series of marriages which be nefitted the
  Bohons. They had a daughter, Maud, and a son, Humphrey III. Humphrey II died around 1129.
