Humphrey III de Bohun (before 1144 – ? December 1181) was an Anglo-Norman 
nobleman and general who served Henry II as Constable. He was the son of Humphrey 
II de Bohun and Margaret of Hereford, the eldest daughter of the erstwhile constable 
Miles of Gloucester. He had succeeded to his father's fiefs, centred in Gloucestershire 
on Caldicot Castle, and in Wiltshire on Trowbridge Castle, by 29 September 1165, 
when he owed three hundred marks as relief. From 1166 onwards, he held his mother's 
inheritance, both her Bohun lands in Wiltshire and her inheritance from her late father 
and brothers.

As his constable, Humphrey sided with the king during the Revolt of 1173–1174. In 
August 1173, he was with Henry and the royal army at Breteuil on the continent and, 
later that same year, he and Richard de Lucy led the sack of Berwick-upon-Tweed 
and invaded Lothian to attack William the Lion, the King of Scotland, who had sided 
with the rebels. He returned to England and played a major role in the defeat and 
capture of Robert Blanchemains, the Earl of Leicester, at Fornham. By the end of 
1174, he was back on the continent, where he witnessed the Treaty of Falaise 
between Henry and William of Scotland.

According to Robert of Torigni, in late 1181 Humphrey joined Henry the Young King in 
leading an army against Philip of Alsace, the Count of Flanders, in support of Philip II 
of France, on which campaign Humphrey died.[1] He was buried at Llanthony 
Secunda.

Sometime between February 1171 and Easter 1175 Humphrey married Margaret of 
Huntingdon, a daughter of Henry, Earl of Northumbria, and widow since 1171 of 
Conan IV, Duke of Brittany. Through this marriage he became a brother-in-law of his 
enemy, William of Scotland. With Margaret he had a daughter, Matilda, and a son, 
Henry de Bohun, who, in 1187, while a minor in the custody of Humphrey's mother in 
England, was created Earl of Hereford. It has been suggested that Humphrey's widow 
was the Margaret who married Pedro Manrique de Lara, a Spanish nobleman, but there 
are discrepancies in this theory.[2]
