Deed of Arbitration relating to a land dispute between the Earls of Arundel, Pembroke and Shrewsbury
The dispute was arbitrated by the Earl of Bedford, John Selden, William Petre and William Noye. The manors disputed were Rockwardine [ Wrockwardine], Cheswardine, Taseley [ Tasley] , Hulton, (possibly Hilton) in Shropshire and Southwingfeild [ South Wingfield] and Criche [ Crich] in Derbyshire. The arbitrators decided to distribute the lands equitably by placing lots into a hat box. Four pendant seals (of Bedford, Petre, Noye and Selden) are attached, but Arundel, Pembroke and Shrewsbury did not sign or seal the document.
