Statutes of uncertain date explained

The statutes of uncertain date, also known as Latin: statuta incerti temporis or Certain Statutes made during the Reigns of K. Henry 3. K. Edward 1. or K. Edward 2. but uncertain when or in which of their times, are English statutes dating from the reigns of Henry III, Edward I or Edward II, and frequently listed in the statute books at the end of the reign of Edward II.[1] [2]

Statutes of uncertain date

Certain statutes do not include within their text the date on which they were made, or are otherwise considered to be of ambiguous or uncertain date (Latin: temp. incert.). These statutes are known to date generally from the reigns of Henry III, Edward I, or Edward II, and are therefore printed in The Statutes of the Realm immediately after those for Edward II.

Henry III

Edward I

Edward II

Latin: Temp. incert. in The Statutes at Large

These statutes were listed as of uncertain date in The Statutes at Large, but were assigned to dates by the research of the Record Commission in compiling The Statutes of the Realm.
