Bohun swan The Bohun swan was a heraldic badge used originally in England by the mediaeval noble family of de Bohun, Earls of Hereford, and Earls of Essex. ==Origin== The widespread use of the swan as a badge derives from the legend of the Swan Knight, today most familiar from Richard Wagner's opera ''Lohengrin''. The Crusade cycle, a group of Old French ''chansons de geste'', had associated the legend with the ancestors of Godfrey of Bouillon (d. 1100), King of Jerusalem and the hero of the First Crusade. Godfrey had no legitimate progeny, but his wider family had many descendants among the aristocracy of Europe, many of whom after his death made use of the swan as a heraldic emblem. In England such a family was that of de Bohun, Earls of Hereford and Earls of Essex.
