Browne Baronets, of Kiddington (1659)

The Browne Baronetcy, of Kiddington in the County of Oxford, was created in the Baronetage of England on 1 July 1659 for Henry Browne, with remainder in default of male issue of his own to his brother Francis Browne and the male issue of his body. He was the grandson of the Hon. Sir Henry Browne, younger son of Anthony Browne, 1st Viscount Montagu (see Viscount Montagu and the Browne baronets of Bettesworth Castle above and the Browne baronets of Caversham below). Despite the special remainder, Browne was succeeded by his son, the second Baronet. The title became extinct on the death of the latter's son, the third Baronet, in 1754.

    Underneath this sable hearse

    Sidney’s sister, Pembroke’s mother;
    Death ere thou has slain another,
    Fair, and learned, and good as she,
    Time shall throw a dart at thee.
