Humphrey With The Beard
Humphrey with the Beard (died before 1113) was a Norman soldier and nobleman, the earliest known ancestor of the de Bohun family, later prominent in England as Earls of Hereford and Earls of Essex. His epithet, "with the beard" (''cum barba''), was a distinguishing one in eleventh-century Normandy, where the custom was to shave the face and back of the head. It is first recorded in a later chronicle of Llanthony Prima, edited by William Dugdale in the '' Monasticon Anglicanum'' (VI.134): :''Dominus Humfredus de Bohun, cum barba, qui prius venit cum Willielmo Conquestore in Angliam de Normannia, cognatus dicti Conquestoris. . .'' ("Lord Humphrey de Bohun, with the beard, who first came with William the Conqueror to England from Normandy, a relative of the said Conqueror"). As is stated by Wace in the ''Roman de Rou'', Humphrey derived from "Bohun" in Normandy: ''De Bohun le Vieil Onfrei'' ("from Bohun the old Humphrey").Planche, quoting Roman de Rou, line 13,583 Today this h ...
