About Sir Humphrey de Bohun, Sheriff of Essex & Hertfordshire

Humphrey Bohun with these dates is the son of John and Aveline Ros according to TudorPlace. John Bohun and Alice ? did have a son named Humphrey along with dau. Beatrice.

I believe Tudorplace maybe in error as 1418 would be a little early for a child of John Bohun and Aveline Ros since they also had a child Geoffrey born 1450. The listing in thePeerage has Humphrey as the son of John & Alice ?.
