His mother died in 1251; his father died in 1265 of wounds sustained at the Battle of Evesham. He succeeded his grandfather, Humphrey de Bohun, 2nd Earl of Hereford, in 1275. The 3rd Earl was also the 2nd Earl of Essex, and held the positions of Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, and Constable of all England.
Humphrey de Bohun took part in Roger Mortimer's war against the Welsh, and was present at the defeat at Cefnllys in November, 1262, by Llywelyn ap Gruffydd. He died at Pleshy Castle, in Essex.
Humphrey de Bohun married Maud de Fiennes sometime between 1264 and July 17, 1275. Maud was born between 1236 and 1259, a daughter of Enguerrand II de Fiennes and Isabel de Conde. She died before 1347. Their son, another Humphrey de Bohun, succeeded him as the 8th Baron de Bohun and as Earl of Hereford.

Humphrey de Bohun succeeded his grandfather as Earl of Hereford and Essex, and Lord High Constable of England. This nobleman, inheriting the high and daring spirit of his predecessors, often strenuously opposed measures of the court, and was therefore often in disgrace, but he appears at the close of his career to have regained royal favour, for we find him attending the King into Scotland when that monarch, Edward I, obtained a great victory at Roxburgh. He married Maud, daughter of Sir Ingelram Fiennes, and, dying in 1297, was succeeded by his son, Humphrey.
