Summary:
Throughout the later middle ages and beyond the Kings of England periodically issued general pardons covering a wide range of offences. So numerous were the resultant letters patent that their record was from an early date separated from the Chancery's Patent roll, and compiled into a separate Pardon roll. This volume calendars the general pardons issued by Edward IV during his first reign from 1462 to 1467. The pardons provide interesting information on individuals of all ranks of society, their social status and places of residence, and offers, inter alia, fascinating evidence for the study of social and geographic mobility.
