Death*6 April 1187 1,2 
Burial* Lanthony Abbey, Gloucestershire, England2 
DNB* Bohun, Humphrey (III) de (b. before 1144, d. 1181), constable to Henry II, was the son and heir of Humphrey (II) de Bohun [see below] and his wife, Margaret (d. 1187), the eldest daughter of Miles of Gloucester, earl of Hereford. The family name was derived from St Georges de Bohon in the Cotentin, from where Humphrey (III)'s great-grandfather, Humphrey ‘with the beard’, came to England with William the Conqueror. During William Rufus's reign this Humphrey's son, normally described as Humphrey (I) de Bohun, married Maud, the daughter of Edward of Salisbury, and as a result acquired estates based on Trowbridge, Wiltshire. He died c.1123, leaving Humphrey (II) de Bohun (d. 1164/5), who with his mother, Maud, founded the Cluniac priory at Monkton Farleigh, Wiltshire, evidently in fulfilment of his father's wishes. In 1130 Humphrey (II) de Bohun still owed relief for his father's land, plus 400 marks for the purchase of a royal stewardship. As steward he witnessed charters of Henry I towards the end of his reign, and also King Stephen's Oxford charter of liberties in 1136. However, he deserted to the Empress Matilda on her arrival in England in 1139 and successfully defended his castle at Trowbridge against the king. In 1144 he received from the empress confirmation of his lands and of his ‘stewardship in England and Normandy’, with a grant of other estates. He was loyal to the Angevins in the civil war, witnessing as steward both for the empress in the 1140s and for Henry II, before and after his accession as king, between 1153 and 1157. However, during the year 1158 he was deprived of former royal demesne which he was holding in Wiltshire. None of the royal charters he attested can with certainty be dated to 1158 or later, and it may be that he fell out of the king's favour. On the other hand he was present at the promulgation of the constitutions of Clarendon in January 1164. He was dead by Michaelmas 1165, when his son Humphrey (III) de Bohun owed 300 marks as relief. In the following year his widow, Margaret, who had become coheir to Miles of Gloucester following the deaths of her brothers, answered for the knights' fees which formed her share of the inheritance, and which passed to Humphrey (III) de Bohun along with the Bohun lands in Wiltshire.

Humphrey (III) de Bohun attested several of Henry II's charters as constable, an office previously held by Miles of Gloucester, and distinguished himself on the king's side in the war of 1173–4. He was in the royal army at Breteuil in August 1173, and with the justiciar Richard de Lucy later sacked Berwick and led troops into Lothian against William the Lion, king of Scots, before having to return south to deal with rebellion in England. In October 1173 he featured prominently in the defeat and capture of the earl of Leicester and others at Fornham near Bury St Edmunds. He witnessed the treaty of Falaise between Henry II and the king of Scots at the close of 1174. Through his marriage, which took place between February 1171 and Easter 1175, to Margaret (d. 1201), daughter of Henry of Scotland, earl of Northumberland (d. 1152), and widow of Conan (IV), duke of Brittany (d. 1171), he became brother-in-law to the king of Scots. He died while a member of the army led into France towards the end of 1181 by Henry II's sons to assist Philippe II against the count of Flanders, and was buried at Llanthony (Secunda) Priory, Gloucestershire. He left a daughter, Matilda, and a son, Henry de Bohun, who in 1187 was a minor in the custody of Margaret de Bohun, the widow of Humphrey (II) de Bohun.

DNB* Eustace, count of Boulogne (c.1129-1153), claimant to the English throne, was the eldest son of King Stephen (c.1092-1154) and Matilda of Boulogne (c.1103-1152). He was the elder brother of William (William of Blois), earl of Surrey (c.1135-1159), and Mary (Mary of Blois), countess of Boulogne (d. 1182). His date of birth has to be surmised from his knighting and investiture of the honour of Boulogne in late 1146 or early 1147. If he was eighteen at this time he was born in 1129: he may have been a year or two younger, but no more, for he occurs in one of his parents' charters dated not later than 30 August 1131. Eustace was a Boulogne family name, but his father's coup in claiming the English crown in December 1135 moved him onto the wider stage of Anglo-Norman politics.

On this stage, however, Eustace would never enjoy more than a subordinate role. Of the numerous mentions of Eustace in charters and in chronicles, all but a few relate to his position as his father's intended heir. As such, he did homage to the French king for Normandy in 1137. As such, he was betrothed in some state within France to Constance, the sister of Louis VII (r. 1137–80), in February 1140—if the marriage did not take place at the same time, it took place very soon afterwards. As such, in 1141, with his father in captivity after the battle of Lincoln, his still powerful family asked for the release to him of the Boulogne lands and other family estates. This the Empress Matilda and her party refused. Both for the Angevins and the house of Blois it was all or nothing. Henry of Anjou, the son of the empress, claimed to be the lawful heir to England and Normandy: Eustace could claim to be the legitimate heir of an anointed king. In the late 1140s the issue was joined between them. Henry always had the initiative. He came to England in 1149, and was knighted at Carlisle; but Eustace pursued him through the west country, and Henry left England with little achieved. Eustace then followed him to France in 1151, as an ally of his brother-in-law Louis VII; but the French king then accepted Henry's homage as duke of Normandy. In the following year also he was in France, as part of a wider coalition of Henry's enemies; but Henry's control of the duchy remained unshaken.

In diplomatic manoeuvrings ultimately equally fruitless Stephen had attempted to follow Capetian custom, and have Eustace crowned in his own lifetime. His mother assiduously cultivated Archbishop Theobald (d. 1161); but all to no avail. The papacy referred to English custom, and declined to approve Eustace's coronation. By the end Eustace alone believed in the legitimacy of his cause. That stage was reached after the second siege of Wallingford in July 1153, after Duke Henry had invaded England and attracted widespread support. Stephen was persuaded to agree to terms, at which Eustace withdrew from the court, ‘greatly vexed and angry because the war, in his opinion, had reached no proper conclusion’ (Gesta Stephani, 238–9). Very soon afterwards, on about 17 August 1153, he died in East Anglia. He had wasted the lands of Bury St Edmunds, and that powerful saint was seen by some as implicated in his death; others said more simply that he had died of a broken heart. He died childless, and was buried at Faversham Abbey.

The reputation Eustace left behind was mixed. In the courtly world he was seen as a true son of his father, able to ‘meet men on a footing of equality or superiority as occasion required’ (Gesta Stephani, 208–9). In the countryside he was a lord no less demanding than his peers, ‘a bad man … he robbed the lands and levied heavy taxes’ (ASC, 202). His wife, the Countess Constance, was remembered as ‘a good woman’ (ASC, 202), but she did not linger in her adopted land, and early in 1154 married Raymond (V), count of Toulouse.

Gudröd of Norway "the Magnificent"1

Marriage*circa 800 Bride=Åsa Haraldsdotter1 
Death*between 810 and 827 murdered at the instigation of his wife, Asa, in reverge for abducting her and killing her father and brother.1 
Note He may be only legendary. - GEB 
Note* From the Heimskringla:

53. OF GUDROD THE HUNTER.

Gudrod, Halfdan's son, succeeded. He was called Gudrod the
Magnificent, and also Gudrod the Hunter. He was married to
Alfhild, a daughter of King Alfarin of Alfheim, and got with her
half the district of Vingulmark. Their son Olaf was afterwards
called Geirstad-Alf. Alfheim, at that time, was the name of the
land between the Glommen and Gotha rivers. Now when Alfhild
died, King Gudrod sent his men west to Agder to the king who
ruled there, and who was called Harald Redbeard. They were to
make proposals to his daughter Aasa upon the king's account; but
Harald declined the match, and the ambassadors returned to the
king, and told him the result of their errand. Soon after King
Gudrod hove down his ships into the water, and proceeded with a
great force in them to Agder. He immediately landed, and came
altogether unexpectedly at night to King Harald's house. When
Harald was aware that an army was at hand, he went out with the
men he had about him, and there was a great battle, although he
wanted men so much. King Harald and his son Gyrd fell, and King
Gudrod took a great booty. He carried away with him Aasa, King
Harald's daughter, and had a wedding with her. They had a son by
their marriage called Halfdan; and the autumn that Halfdan was a
year old Gudrod went upon a round of feasts. He lay with his
ship in Stiflesund, where they had been drinking hard, so that
the king was very tipsy. In the evening, about dark, the king
left the ship; and when he had got to the end of the gangway from
the ship to the shore, a man ran against him, thrust a spear
through him, and killed him. The man was instantly put to death,
and in the morning when it was light the man was discovered to be
Aasa's page-boy: nor did she conceal that it was done by her
orders. Thus tells Thjodolf of it: --

"Gudrod is gone to his long rest,
Despite of all his haughty pride --
A traitor's spear has pierced his side:
For Aasa cherished in her breast
Revenge; and as, by wine opprest,
The hero staggered from his ship,
The cruel queen her thrall let slip
To do the deed of which I sing:
And now the far-descended king,
At Stiflesund, in the old bed
Of the old Gudrod race, lies dead."2
