(1143 - 1 Jun 1220)
Humphrey de Bohun, as Earl of Hereford, and possessing the honour of
Essex from his mother, was created Earl of that county by Henry III, at
whose marriage his lordship performed the office of marshal in the King
house, and in three years afterwards, Anno 1239, was one of the
godfathers at the font for Edward, later Edward I, eldest son of the
King, there being no less than nine sponsors on the occasion, viz., five
temporal and four spiritual lords. He wasLord 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 lords when that
formal curse was denounced in Westminster Hall, with bell, book and
candle, against the violators of the Magna Charta; in which year he
founded the church of the Friars Augustines, in Broadstreet, within the
city of London. In the great contest between the King, Henry III, and h
baronsthis nobleman fought for the latter at Evesham, where he was taken
prisoner,but did not long continue in bondage, for we find him soon
after again in favour and receiving new grants from the crown.
This is the ancestry of the Wiley and Dorr families of Maine. It was begun by Leonore Dorr and Keneth Wiley. it is a legay of their love of family
