A pair of spurs with two badges including a Norfolk Constabulary Special Constable

14th-15th century AD. A bronze heater-shaped pendant with loop above, enamelled heraldic device blazoned 'Azure a bend Argent cotised Or between six lions rampant of the same', the arms of the Bohun family. Cf. Ashley, S. Medieval Armorial Horse Furniture in Norfolk, East Anglian Archaeology 101, Dereham, 2002, item 81. The de Bohun family was one of the more important Norman baronial lines. Humphrey (VII) de Bohun, 4th Earl of Hereford (1276 - 16 March 1322) was one of the Ordainers who opposed Edward II. He was Constable of England and held the title of Bearer of the Swan Badge, a heraldic device passed down in the Bohun family which appears on Humphrey's personal seal. At the Battle of Bannockburn (23-24 June 1314), Humphrey de Bohun should have taken command of the army as Constable of England but since the execution of his close friend Piers Gaveston in 1312 de Bohun had been out of favour with King Edward II, who gave command for the 1314 campaign to Gilbert de Clare, the inexperienced Earl of Gloucester. De Bohun insisted on being one of the first to lead the cavalry charge. In the battle he was not injured but his nephew Henry de Bohun, then aged about 22, charged at Robert Bruce and was killed by Bruce's axe. In 1322, Humphrey was killed in battle at Boroughbridge, Yorkshire, where he led a charge to seize the bridge. 10 grams, 45mm From an important collection of horse harness pendants and mounts; property of a Suffolk, UK, gentleman.
