On November 17, 1395 in an inquisition held at Shrewsbury, Shropshire it was determined that the instant Richard Hussey held Adbrighton Hussey manor, according to 'Calendar of Inquisitions'.   Richard Hussey served King Henry IV in the Battle of Shrewsbury, perhaps the bloodiest battle in English history.  The battle was fought on land that was owned by Richard Hussey and was the theme of William Shakespeare's account of Hotspur in "Henry IV" in which Falstaff appears on the side of the king together with "Prince Hal" (later Henry V) who slays his arch-rival, Hotspur.

Henry Percy, called "Hotspur" by his enemies because of his habit of rushing headlong into every battle, was the eldest son of the first Earl of Northumberland.  He and King Henry IV were bosom friends until a dispute arose between them.  In the exchange King Henry IV called Henry Percy a traitor, struck him on the face and drew his sword on him.  Percy is said to have answered the defiance with the words, 'Not here, but on the field'.  This confrontation occurred late in 1402, and in 1403 Hotspur issued a proclamation in Cheshire stating that King Richard II was a liar and summoned the inhabitants to his standard.  He was joined by many noblemen and their soldiers. ; On July 21, 1402 his army arrived at Castle Foregate, Shrewsbury, but found that King Henry IV and his troops had arrived before him.

He retired with his army to a point about three and one-half miles from Shrewsbury on the land of Richard Hussey to plan his strategy. The king shortly ordered the attack, and the intense carnage was described by the old chronicler Waurin thus: 'There was such a slaughter of men whose bodies lay soulless that the like had not been seen in England, and those who were alive did all in their power to kill each other, so that it was a horrible and dreadful thing to see; nor was any so bold that he did not tremble with horror and fear, for as I have heard tell by mouth and by writing it is not found in any book of this chronicle that there was ever in the kingdom of England since the conquest by Duke William so horrible a battle or so much Christian blood spilled as in this of which we are speaking'.

Henry Percy was killed in the battle.  Leaders of his forces who did not die in battle were executed the following day, and the troops were dispersed, ordered to return to their homes.  After the battle Hotspur's body was decapitated and quartered.  The quarters were sent to be displayed on the public squares of London, Bristol, Newcastle-on-Tyne and Chester.  His head was sent to York to be displayed on a Pole.
On the site of the battle Richard Hussey gave two acres of land for a memorial to those soldiers who were killed in the battle, and King Henry IV provided the funds to erect Battlefield College, a church and a school.  Battlefield College was described in "The Antiquary:"

Battlefield College stands on the spot where the fight was the fierciest, and near a pit in which a large number of bodies of the slain was interred.  The chuch is commonly attributed to Henry IV, but it was really erected by Roger Ive, a zealous Lancastrian priest, and Rector of Fitz and Richard Hussey of Adbrighton Hussey manor, who obtained charters from this King for this purpose.  The earliest document extant is dated October 28, 1406.  It is a license to Richard Hussey, Lord of Adbrighton Hussey, on whose property the battle was fought, to assign two acres of land to Ive to celebrate divine services daily in a chapel to be erected there for the souls of the king and of those who were slain in the battle and were there buried. The church was duly begun, and was finished in 1409, when the king by letters patent established it as a charity of eight chaplains, and endowed it with the advowson of Michaelskirke in Lancashire.  He afterwards added as a further endowment the advowsons of Iddesale and St Michael with the castle of Salop.  This charter of Henry IV, dated March 27, 1410 was confirmed by Pope John XXIII in 1411 and in sequence by Henry V, Henry VI, Henry VII and Henry VIII.

The college existed for 140 years under seven wardens. ; Roger Ive, the founder, served until 1447.  His successors were Henry Bastard, 1447 to 1454; Roger Phillips, 1454 to 1478; Adam Grafton, 1478 to about 1520; John Hussey, grandson of Richard Hussey, about 1520 to 1524; Humphrey Thomas, 1525 to 1535; and John Hussey, unidentified, but perhaps, held the post from 1535 until it was dissolved in 1550. Inside the church the coats of arms of some of the illustrious individuals who participated in the battle are displayed.  On the north side are located the arms of King Henry IV, Earl of Dunbar, Sir Hugh Stanley, Sir John Cockayne, Sir Nicholas Gausel, Sir Hugh Mortimer, Sir Hugh Shirley, Sir Robert Malvausin, Sir Madoc Kynaston and Sir Richard Sandford.  On the south side are mounted the arms of Henry, Prince of Wales; Edmund, Earl of Stafford; Sir John Clifton, Sir Walter Blount, Sir Robert Gausel, Sir John Massey, Sir Thomas Wendesley, Sir Reginald Mottershead, Sir Jenkins Hanmer and Sir Richard Hussey.

Richard is reported to be a direct descendant of William Hussey or John Hussey who accompanied William the Conqueror in his invasion of England and participated in the Battle of Hastings in 1066.
