“HUMPHREY DE BOHUN, of Bishopstrow, East Coulston, Etchilharnpton, Manningford Bohune, Heddington, Newton Tony, Staverton, Swallowcliffe, Trowbridge, and Wilsford, Wiltshire, Walton upon Thames, Surrey, etc., younger son. He married MAUD OF SALISBURY, daughter of Edward of Salisbury, of Chitterne and Trowbridge, Wiltshire [see LONGESPÉE 1 for her parentage]. They had one son, Humphrey, and one daughter, Maud. In 1125 he and his wife, Maud, founded Monkton Farleigh Priory, Wiltshire. HUMPHREY DE BOHUN died about 1129. His widow, Maud, died in 1146.
Memoirs illus. of the Hist. & Antiqs. of Wiltshire & the City of Salisbury (1851): 215-216 (" ... the Genealogical history of the Bohuns, which was written in the chronicle of the abbey of Lanthony, near Gloucester, presents a long statement of the alliance which the daughter of Edward of Salisbury made with Humphrey de Bohun, styled the Great. It is as follows: 'The lord Humphrey de Bohun, who was surnamed 'with the beard,' who first came with William the Conqueror into England from Normandy, a kinsman of the said Conqueror, begat lord Humphrey de Bohun the second. He was called Humphrey the Great; who, by the will and command of William Rufus, son of the said Conqueror, espoused Matilda daughter of Edward of Salisbury, with which Matilda her father gave to the said Humphrey in free marriage all his lands and tenements which were of his own acquisition; namely Weston near Salisbury, Walton, Newenton, Piryton, Staunton (or Staverton?), Trowbridge, and a messuage in Salisbury next the east gate, and the advowson of the church of the Holy Cross which is founded above that gate, together with a meadow without Salisbury. And Weston aforesaid was given in exchange for Wyvelesford and Manningford. And all the other lands and tenements which were of the inheritance of the said Edward remained to his son and heir, Walter of Salisbury.' It was this Humphrey de Bohun and his wife Matilda who founded the priory of Farley, in this county. This took place, according to the register of Lewes priory, in the year 1125."). Jackson Hist. of the Priory of Monkton Farley (1857): 3-4 ("It appears to have been the second Humphrey Bohun who first became a landowner in North Wilts. At the desire of William Rufus he married Maud, daughter of the greatest landlord in the county, Edward of Salisbury, who, at the marriage, endowed his daughter with several estates belonging to the Honour of Trowbridge. Farley is not named among them, so he obtained it in some other way ... Maud of Salisbury, the wife of Humphrey Bohun the Second, was certainly the person who designed the Priory of Monkton Farley. The land which she gave for the purpose was an estate called the Buries, at Bishopstrow, near Warminster ... Whether Maud Bohun actually began the building I cannot say. it was founded about the year 1125, but the dates of her husband's and her own death are not known. It was certainly finished and principally endowed by her son Humphrey de Bohun the Third..."). Herald & Genealogist 6 (1871): 241-253. Jour. British Arch. Assoc. 27 (1871): 179-191 ("... Humphrey, succeeded his father in his English possessions, which had been augmented in the reign of Rufus by an extensive barony in Wiltshire, through his marriage with Maude (or Mabel as she is sometimes called), daughter of that most mysterious personage, Edward of Salisbury ... This marriage was made, we are told by the chronicler of Lanthony Abbey, at the instance of William Rufus himself; and with this lady her father gave to the said Humphrey, in free marriage, all his lands and tenements which were of his own acquisition. Now as Humphrey de Bophun already possessed by inheritance an extensive barony in Wiltshire, these additional estates must have made him a very important personage ... This Humphrey de Bohun, second of the name, dapifer to King Henry I, and distinguished in the history of his family as 'the Great or the Fat,' died in 1131, leaving by his wife aforesaid an only son named Humphrey, and a daughter named Maude..."). Notes & Queries 4th Ser. 9 (1872): 313-315. Wiltshire Arch. & Natural Hist. Mag. 20 (1882):75-86 ("Edward of Salisbury ... had in A.D. 1100 ... eaten up Brictric's manor[s] of Trowbridge and Staverton, and as certainly, in the year 1125, our manor [Farley] had passed first into the hands of Humphrey Bohun the second, and from him into those of Humphrey Bohun the third, and had by them been conveyed to the Priory of St. Pancras, Lewes, for the purpose of founding a daughter Cluniac priory in our parish. Now the first Humphrey Bohun married Matilda, sole daughter of Edward of Salisbury, and she, on her father's death, shared his estates with her only brother. Thereafter the manors of Trowbridge and Staverton, as well as that of Farley, passes through her to the priory. It is only, therefore, reasonable to conjecture that they all passed from Brictric to Edward of Salisbury, and so to our Priory. There has been a difference of opinion as to whether it was the second or the third Humphrey Bohun who founded our Priory, but my judgement is that the first commenced and the second concluded the foundation. The charter is styled 'Carta Humfridi de Bohun, Regis Dapiferi, de fundatione Prioratus de Farleighe.' This is evidently the third Humphrey Bohun, for the second was never 'Regis Dapifer,' but the charter goes on, sometimes absolutely to give and sometimes only to confirm, the gift of properties, and in the case of our parish [Parley] the gift is only confirmed; confirmed therefore, I conclude, as the previous gift of the father, Humphrey the second.").
