Administrative / biographical background:

One of the Segraves' five principal Warwickshire manors, it was granted to Stephen de Segrave in 1216 by King John at a farm of £12 a year, and Henry III added grants of a market in 1227 and a fair in 1228. Stephen was also granted, by William Earl Warenne, the rents and services of tenants for 8 bovates and, by Ralph de Turberville, lands in Brookhampton and Combrook with 7 virgates in Kineton, which Henry III had granted to Ralph. [BL Harl. MS 4748. f. 3.] By 1303 Nicholas de Segrave the younger was paying the rent of £12 to the Crown; [CPR 1301-7, 119, 241.] His was presumably only a life tenure, as by 1325 the manor was in the hands of his brother John and appears in both inquisitions of that year, along with holdings in Great and Little Kineton, Combrook and Brookhampton. It was not part of the jointure of Margaret Marshal and in 1353 it passed directly, like Caludon, to John de Mowbray, appearing in his inquisition of 1368 and that of his son in 1399, when it was valued at £26. Before 1461 it was the subject of a settlement by John (VI) de Mowbray with Melton Mowbray and Diseworth: BCM/D/5/23. In 1467 it was settled on John (VII) and his wife Elizabeth in jointure, and it was one of the manors granted to Richard III by William de Berkeley in 1484.
