December 3 - Henry VIII pardons rebels

On this day in Tudor history, 3rd December 1536, a proclamation was made to the rebels of the Pilgrimage of Grace offering them a pardon.
 
Yes, Henry VIII was offering the rebels "free pardons" for their rebellion against him, his advisors and his religious measures.
 
In today's "on this day in Tudor history", Claire Ridgway, author of several Tudor history books, reminds us what the Pilgrimage of Grace rebellion was about and how, even though a free pardon was offered, prominent rebels ended up being executed.
