Statutes published at the Westminster parliament
Yonge’s Flores historiarum reports that statutes were published at the parliament at Westminster.
What this does and does not establish
Yonge’s 1853 English translation, vol. II, as supplied in the retained file. The passage explicitly reports publication at the parliament, beyond merely summoning nobles. The supplied text spells Westminster here as “Weatminster”. No exact date for publication is stated.

- Theme

- Kind of record
- Placed in a year. A source places this in one year. It is listed under that year; no day precision is invented.
How it is dated
- Date reference
- A.D. 1275; month unspecified
- How we use it
- Year-level placement is limited to the dated source entry.
The date reference is this project’s reading of the source’s date. It may give an era name, a reign or a calendar in a normalised form rather than in the source’s own words; the dating notes say what the source prints.
Dating notes from the research record
In flores.txt, the governing annual incipit is “A.D. 1275.” at line 22682; its opening sentence continues at 22687 across the running header at 22685. Lines 22687–22693 establish the actual parliament and publication. Internal chronological checks within this entry include the Nativity of the blessed Mary at 22700 and 11 September at 22712; the next annual incipit is 1276 at 22744. Assign publication to Julian AD 1275 on the explicit annual attribution, without inferring a day or month or transferring the later September dates to it. Original quotation begins at line 22687, character 1367548.
File names and line numbers in these notes, and in the limits above, refer to the project’s retained copies of the cited sources. Names such as calendar_headers are the project’s calendar look-ups, and “the investigator” is the research step that prepared the record.
Sources and quoted text
