Placed in AD 1283 by a source

Each record sits in this year because its source places it here, or because a conversion of the source’s date, stated on the record, does. That is a placement, not a settled date, and not a complete account of the year. “No region assigned” means the collection has not fixed where the act took place. How to read a record

David hanged at Shrewsbury

Yonge’s Flores historiarum reports that David, brother of prince Llewellyn, was dragged through Shrewsbury and then hanged.

Limits: Yonge’s 1853 English translation, vol. II. The supplied transcription renders Shrewsbury as 'Shrewsb9ry' and 'dragged' as 'idra^ed'. This occurrence has no internal day or month; its year rests on the explicit annual incipit. The annalist’s hostile characterizations are not adopted.
