About Roger FitzMiles, 2d Earl of Hereford

"Dying without issue in the same year (1155) the Earldom of Hereford became extinct, but the shrievalty of Hereford and Gloucester passed to his brother Walter. On the death of the latter and two other brothers without issue, the family possessions passed to their sisters -- Bertha, through her marriage bringing Abergavenny to de Braose, but Margaret, the eldest sister, taking the bulk to the Bohuns afterwards (1199), in recognition of their descent from Miles, earls of Hereford, and constables of England.......The earldom of Hereford remained in abeyance from the death of Roger until 28 April, 1199 when King John of England (youngest son of Eleanor of Aquitaine and successor to "Richard the Lionhearted") recreated it for Henry de Bohun, the grandson of Earl Roger's sister, Margaret."
