PoD Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 This is a replica of the actual Pardon certificate given out by Benjamin Bennet, the then governor of Bermuda, to any pirate that surrendered to him to take advantage of the Kings Pardon. This pardon was laid out in the Act of Grace, a proclamation issued in 1717 that stated that if a pirate was to surrender before a specified date to any English government official then they would be granted a pardon from their past crimes. This proclamation is also available here: http://www.etsy.com/...nd-king-georges The pardon is actual size and comes on period correct laid paper. It features the signature and seal of Benjamin Bennet and Woodes Rogers who is added as a witness. The document can be customised with Your name and the Date you choose $33 http://www.etsy.com/...the-governor-of ...and then I discovered the wine...
