A 1980 pardon signed by Queen Elizabeth II with the royal wax seal for 'buggery,' a crime referring to anal sex regardless of gender, though this pardon makes reference in part to male buggery as well. More research will need to be done, but we speculate that the pardoned man was arrested during an orgy or group sex gathering and brought up on numerous indecency charges, being pardoned just a few months after conviction in 1979. We could find no other record of a royal pardon for buggery. 13 x 8". Every lot is sold "as is," "where is," and "without warranty," whether express or implied.
