I have been following the conversation regarding Humphrey de Bohun, and have
come up with a couple of questions.

One of the earliest posts in this thread read


> I have Humphrey de Bohun (with the beard,) Lord of Taterford, b.c.
1066-d.1113; wife unknown. ....

Several of the sources recommended for internet perusal identify Humphrey de
Bohun, the Bearded as a companion to the Conqueror and show his death as
before 1093.

Question: If the Conqueror was conquering in 1066, what was he doing having
an infant as a companion? Am I missing a couple of generations here?


Another Internet source identified Humphrey de Bohun who died in 1182 and
married Margaret De Pitres as "Dapifer to Henry I"

Question: What is a Dapifer?

Thanks for your input....

Debbi
