Humphrey de Bohun I (c 1037-b 1113) , a kinsman and companion in arms of William the Conqueror, was generally known as "Humphrey with the Beard." He was the founder of the house of Bohun in England. He was slenderly rewarded for his prowess at Hastings. Wace speaks of him as among the foremost in the battle; yet all he received was the Norfolk manor of Taterford (Talesford). It was the extraordinary succession of great alliances made by his descendants that gave the name its lustre and wealth of accumulated dignities.
