Hi, my name is Maria Jose. I\’m from Peru and I am still on highschool. I have been always been interested in the Tudor dynasty since my mother have always love to read about them and because my best friend love the old BBC series from the seventies about the six wives and Elizabeth I, so she hooked me on it. But my interest in them grew even bigger in 2010 when my parents enrolled me in a boarding scool in East Sussex called Brighton College and while there I found that there were a lot of girls that were fans of Tudor history, especially Anne Boleyn history, and even in my boarding house, Fenwick, they had a kind of a Tudor club and they invited me to it. It was very fun and interesting as we used to read books on them for discuss them later, and I learn a lot on this period. Saddly, this year I came back to Peru but I still remembered my time in England like the best experience I had, and because of that Tudor history is very dear to my heart.
So greets to everyone!

Oh, you are so kind and sweet. Thanks for the greetings, I shall appreciate them dearly.
Claire you have an amazing website and it has been a great source of information for some work I am doing regarding Elizabeth I for my annual school Monograph project.
One question what it is a Coronation-pardon? I kind of understant it but I do not know the meaning. If one of you please answer my question, it would be extremely helpful.
P.S: Claire, you have help me a lot, for your have cited many primary sources and documents that are fundamental when doing researching.
Again thanks to all of you there, hope you are having a great day.

The coronation of a monarch is the ceremony where the monarch vows to rule the country wisely and as such is full of symbolism..
where’s the wikipedia atticle for you.

Hi Maria Jose,
I’m so glad that the site has been helpful to you.
I believe that a coronation pardon was a type of pardon issued at the time of the new monarch’s coronation and pardoned people for things they had got into trouble for in the previous regime. K J Kesselring, in “Mercy and Authority in the Tudor State”, writes “Coronation pardons signaled fresh beginnings and affirmed the new sovereign’s intention to rule with both justice and mercy”. I’m no expert on Tudor law but it appears that people could appeal to be pardoned in a coronation pardon and in Cynthia Herrup’s essay in “Politics, Religion and Popularity in Early Stuart Britain”, she writes that “so many individuals took advantage of the coronation pardon granted by Henry VIII that the names filled four patent rolls”.
