Nathaniel Cross Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I was wondering if anyone knew where one could obtain a copy of the King's Amnesty given by Woodes Rogers gave when he arrived in the Bahamas. I would be interested in any other royal pardon as well.

Capt. Sterling Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 If you mean the Act of Grace... check here 1717 act "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell... I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricane Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 If you want it to be reproduced these guys will do it for a reasonable price. I have Morgan's Letter of Marque and it looks great, complete with waxed seal. They do custom work - basically, they love to forge documents. http://piratedocuments.com/Pages/menu.htm -- Hurricane -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.

Fayma Callahan Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 We have the 1717 proclamation that Capt. Sterling mentions above. Would be happy to email a copy to you. We also place it on parchment as well. http://picasaweb.google.com/jamesacallahan100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
