Life
Brooksby was the eldest daughter and second child of William Vaux, 3rd Baron Vaux of Harrowden, and his first wife, Elizabeth, daughter of John Beaumont of Grace Dieu, Leicester.[1] She married Edward Brokesby, Esq., of Sholdby, Leicester.
In 1605 she and Vaux attended an illegal pilgrimage of Catholic recusants to Holywell. She and her sister completed the journey without shoes.[1]
The pilgrimage was later suspected by authorities of having been used as cover for planning the Gunpowder Plot.Шаблон:Dubious
Brooksby's granddaughter Mary Thimelby would become a prioress.[2]
