" Osbert bestowed the church, St. Peter, upon the nuns of Mergate, Bedfordshire ; and his two daughters, who succeeded a second Osberf, still further curtailed their possessions by giving Kingsbury and Hurley Mills, with a portion of land, to the nuns of Polesworth. These sisters also dying without issue, the manor devolved upon their Aunt Amicia, daughter of the first Osbert, who, some time previously, had married Peter de Bracebridge, a gallant soldier, skilled alike in war and tourney, from ...Bracebridge, near to Lincoln. Settling at Kingsbury, he became the ancestor of the Warwickshire Bracebridges, who, until the i8th of Elizabeth, made Kingsbury Hall their principal resi- dence. John, the third in descent from Peter, joined the rebellious barons, 48th Henry the III. His estates KINGSBURY AND HURLEY HALLS. 163 were forfeited, and being taken prisoner, he was placed in charge of Hugh de Turberville ; but, escaping, fled to the Isle of Arholme with young Simon de Montfort and others, until his party being completely defeated, he submitted under the Dictum of Kenilworth.
