- Dated on the guard to c. 1284 since the petition refers to events that occurred in the 6th, 9th and 12th years of Edward I's reign. However, it may be an eyre plaint, and thus may possibly belong to the eyre held in Shropshire from 6 October-15 December 1292 (Crook, D., Records of the General Eyre, (1982), p.175).
