Notes
a. Note:   N1021 He was an Anglo-Norman warrior. He was steward and sewer to King Henry I, and he supported King Henry in the rebellion of 1173. He married Margery of Gloucester, daughter of Miles of Gloucester, who was the earl of Hereford and lord high constable of England, and whose charter was the earliest of express creation, the patent being dated in 1140. It was through his wife that Humphrey III eventually inherited the title of constable of England and later that of earl of Hereford. At the instigation of Miles, his father-in-law, Humphrey espoused the cause of the Empress Maud and her son, against King Stephen, and so faithfully maintained his allegiance that the empress, by her special charter, granted him the office of steward and sewer, both in Normandy and in England. In 1174, this Humphrey accompanied Richard de Lacy, justice of England, into Scotland, with a powerful army to waste that country; and was one of the witnesses to the accord made by King William of Scotland and King Henry II as to the subjection of that kingdom to the crown of England.
