Charter of Pardon to the Cornish Stannary Parliament 1508
« on: Friday 22 March 19 19:35 GMT (UK) »
An article was recently posted on Facebook concerning the Charter of Pardon granted by King Henry VII to the Cornish Stannary Parliament in 1508, effectively pardoning over 1500 named Cornish people for their part in the uprising against the English in 1497.  Attached to this article was a photograph of a small portion of the original document on which were recorded the names of two of my ancestors (amongst others). Does anyone know where a copy of the full list of 1500 names can be found please?

Have you searched The National Archives Discovery website?
https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/advanced-search

I did a quick search and found this, but I don't think it's quite what you wanted.

You may have more success with different key words in the search boxes.

I'd try contacting the Cornwall Record Office and see if they have it, or know of it.

Found it I think!
You have to put in the right words on Discovery!
Found out from another site it's actually called :
Charter of pardon for all transgressions, granted to tinners.

https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/bf7e3030-0545-4f78-85d2-f2a36a6c8075

And it's at The Royal Institution of Cornwall in Truro.
