Biography
Peter de was born circa 1247 at Eyton, Shropshire, England. He was the son of William de Eyton and Matilda de Leonards-Lee. In 1255 his father died and he, being the heir of his fathere, becomes the Lord of Eyton even though he was a very young boy. He was placed in the wardship of Peter Peverel by gift of Ralph le Butiler (then Baron of Wem). In 1292 Peter settles his estate by using a fine levied at Westminster on 17 January 1292. In this action, he first gives the Manor of Eyton to his son Peter, who returns it to him to hold in a life estate. The remainder of his estate goes to Peter Jr. and to his heirs, or if no heirs, to Margery, sister of Peter Jr. and to her heirs. Also in this same year Peter Sr. is noted as one of the Knights serving on a jury, thus by this date he held the title of Sir Peter, Lord of Eyton. It appears that his last public act was as a member of Parliament at Lincoln in January 1301. Peter departed this life before 21 May 1311 at the Manor of Eyton, Shropshire, England. As his son Peter identifies himself as Lord of Eyton.

Meantime this Peter de Eyton (III) had arrived at man's estate. The first mention of his name, otherwise than as an infant, is early in 1272, when Hugh Burnell had a Writ against him for desseizing the said Hugh of common pasture in Eyton, and John de Appele had a Writ against him for desseizing the said John of a tenement in Eyton. At the Assizes of September 1272 Peter de Eyton was third Juror for Bradford Hundred. His position on a Jury of March 1276 is not among the knights who composed it, but in an inquest of December 2, 1277, he takes precedence of several known to have been knights at the time. In July, 1278, he appears as one of the Verderers of the Shropshire Forests, and in January, 1283, he is expressly styled a knight on a Newport Inquest. From this period till his death his occurrences as a Verderer, a Juror, or a Witness, are very frequent. The Feodaries of 1284-5, when collated show that Peter de Eyton was then holding two knight's fees under Walter de Honton and his wife Matilda (Baroness of Wem). The Manors named as costituting this Fief are Eyton, Brochetone (Bratton), Sutton and half Lawley, in Shropshire, and Cresswell in Staffordshire. The latter was held under him by Henry de Cresswell. At the Assizes of 1292 he was one of the two Elisors, sworn to elect the Jury for Bradford Hundred. In the same year he was one of the Knights who tried several Pleas of Quo Waranto. He was returned for Salop as a knight of the Shire to the Parliament held at York on May 25, 12998, and again to the Parliament held at Lincolnshire in January, 1301. The latter he attended, and obtained his Writ of expenses for so doing. His Manucaptors were Roger le Wodeward of Eyton, and Richard his brother. Meanwhile on June 5, 1300, as one of the Verderers of Shropshire, he attended the great Perambulation then made, and afterwards ratified by Edward I.
Peter de Eyton (III) had settled his estate, or at least the Manor of Eyton, by a Fine levied at Westminster on January 27, 1292. He first gives it to his son Peter (the Plantiff), who returns it to his father, to hold for life, under the Lords of the Fee, with remander to Peter, junior, the heirs of his body, or in default of such heirs to Margery, sister of Peter, junior, and the heirs of her, with remainder to the right heirs of Peter, senior, quit of any other heirs of Margery.
