Biography

Ralph de BOHUN was born in 1202 in Warwick, Warwickshire, England.

According to Dugdale's Monasticon Anglicanum Ralph was recorded in the History of the Foundation of Walden Abbey, Essex as a son of Magna Carta Surety Baron Henry de Bohun and his wife Maud]].[1] The relationship should be regarded as not reliably established in the absence of another source to confirm it.

He married Saveric FitzGeoffrey, Countess of Ballymadd County Kildar, Ireland. He was Earl of Midhurst, Ford and Rustington, Sussex.

Ralph accompanied his brother-in-law, William FitzGeoffrey, on pilgrimage to St. James of Campostella, Spain and spent several years there.

Ralph’s mother, Maud FitzGeoffrey, was the elder sister of Ralph’s wife Saveric Fitz Geoffrey, and was thus both Ralph’s aunt and his wife.

Father: Henry "The Surety" De BOHUN (1° E.Hereford)

First wife: Lora UNKNOWN
Second wife: Saveric FITZGEOFFREY
Children: Franco De BOHUN who married Sybil de Ferrers, daughter of William de Ferrers, 5th Earl of Derby
Death: 1270
Place: Warwick, Warwickshire, England

update: detached from profiles for Bohun-7 and his wife FitzGeoffrey-67 on 13 August 2019.

I've posted a comment on Henry de Bohun's profile recommending that this profile be detached (currently the relationship with his parents is marked uncertain).

Just to note an example of what I mean in my last post, Saveric is a named used consistently in the family of the de Bohuns of Midhurst, who are related by marriage to this family. One of those named Saveric Bohun-117 married a Fitz Geoffrey (or Fitz Piers) FitzPiers-66. It was she, not her HUSBAND Savery/Saveric who was a sister to this Ralph's mother. (Read the bio here and weep.)

MEDLANDS shows no known children or wife for Ralph. It looks like names have been attached from other parts of the family tree based on basic misunderstandings? The Wikipedia article being shown as a source is for Henry de Bohun.

Saveric is a man's name. I think there is a problem here.

We are showing two sons with the same name, just different mothers. Possible, but could it be a mistake?
