Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford, and possessing that honour of Essex through his mother, was created Earl of that county by King Henry III, at whose marriage his lordship performed the office of marshal in the king's house, and in three years afterwards, anno 1239, was one of the godfathers at the font for Edward, eldest son of the king, there being no less than nine sponsors on the occasion, viz., five temporal and four spiritual lords. He was Lord High Constable of England. In 1250, he took up the cross and proceeded to the Holy Land. In three years afterwards, his lordship was present with other peers when that formal curse was denounced in Westminster Hall with bell, book, and candle, against the violators of Magna Carta; in which year he founded the church of the Friars Augustines, in Broad-street, within the city of London. In the great contest between the king and his barons, this nobleman fought for the latter at Evesham, where he was taken prisoner, but he did not long continue in bondage for we find him soon after again in favour and receiving new grants from the crown.
