Notes
a. Note:   N763 2nd/6th Earl of Hereford, 7th Earl of Essex. He was constable of England. He succeeded his father on June 1, 1220, then came into possession of his lands and was confirmed earl of Hereford. After the death of his maternal uncle, William de Mandeville, on April 28, 1228, he inherited the title of earl of Essex. When the barons divided their confederation, Humphrey sided with Simon de Montfort. In 1263 he was one of the important barons who supported the King while his son was on the opposite side, and was one of the keepers of the City of London on October 9, 1265. Humphrey was taken prisoner at the battle of Lewes. He was chosen one of 12 arbitrators to bring peace between the king and Simon. He died on the way to Kenilworth Castle in Warwickshire for this purpose.
