Pardons and appointments amid Restoration era politics
A long-winded royal notice details a pardon for 59 prisoners including William Nodes and James Ban Walla, with transport to be funded by the government. It lists Edward Cowley as agent to the King and references Sir Thomas Overbury’s murder, plus dispatches and posts for ambassadors and clerks. Various officials and court appointments are named, including a variety of envoys, clerks, and secretaries associated with William III’s administration and diplomacy in Europe. The document highlights the intricate patronage and offices across England and abroad during the late 17th century, with mention of East Hamstead Park and the Tutty Company.
