In 1173 the manor of Eaton was transferred to Aldulf de Braci. He held it at the same farm until 1179, and possibly later. His son in law William de Cantlowe married firstly Mascelin daughter of Aldulf de Braci, and secondly Millicent daughter of Hugh de Gurnay but these marriages do not appear to have led directly to his acquisition of the vill, for he obtained the manor by grant of the king and the 7 hides comprising the remainder of the vill by subinfeudation from his wife Millicent's family.
Aldulf de Braci during the reign of Henry II granted 40 acres of land in Eaton to the Prior of Dunstable.
