- Record of an inquisition taken before Richard, Earl of Arundel during the sessions of the peace held at Shrewsbury on Tuesday 18 March 1393, by oath of Corbet and others, into the attached petition. The jurors stated that the Prior of Chirbury received the King's writ reverently, and did not assault Middelton, as alleged, but that an argument broke out, and Middelton called the Prior a peasant. When the Prior accused Middelton of lying, Middelton drew his sword, which led to Weston drawing his bow in defence of the Prior. Others then intervened to prevent injury.
