Talk:Henry de Bohun

Relationship with Hereford
de Bohun was not nephew as many articles state, but a first cousin one times removed of the 4th Earl. He was the grandson of the 2nd Earl, whereas the 4th Earl was a great-grandson. Brendandh (talk) 10:28, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

Innaccurate interpretation of Barbour's depiction of King Robert-De Bohun encounter
"Bruce stood his ground"
 * Barbour in fact describes the two men bearing down towards each other-
 * Sprent thai samyn intill a ling.

"[Bruce] hit de Bohun so hard with his axe that he split his helmet and head in two."
 * Barbour states only that Bruce's axe penetrated both helmet and skull and into Sir Henry's brain ( harnys )-
 * "The hevy dusche that he him gave
 * That ner the heid till the harnys clave."


 * From Brus, (12. ll. 43-59)
