Humphrey de Bohun III was an Anglo-Norman warrior. He was Steward and Sewer to King Henry I., and he supported King Henry in the rebellion of 1173. He married Margery of Gloucester, daughter of Milo of Gloucester, who was the Earl of Hereford and Lord High Constable of England, whose charter was the earliest of express creation, the patent being dated in 1140. She was also the sister and co-heiress of Mabel, last Earl of Hereford, of that family. At the instigation of Milo, his father-in-law, he espoused the cause of the Empress Maud and her son, against King Stephen, and so faithfully maintained his allegiance that the empress, by her special charter, granted him the office of Steward and Sewer, both in Normandy and in England. In the 20th year of Henry II., this Humphrey accompanied Richard de Lacy, Justice of England, into Scotland, with a powerful army to waste that country; and was one of the witnesses to the accord made by King William of Scotland and King Henry II. as to the subjection of that kingdom to the crown of England. He died on April 6, 1187, and was succeeded by his son, Humphrey.
