Safe Conducts Act 1414
Act of the Parliament of England
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Safe Conducts Act 1414 (2 Hen. 5. Stat. 1. c. 6) was an act of the Parliament of England.[1] It made it high treason to break a truce or promise of safe conduct by killing, robbing or "spoiling" the victim. Unusually, the "voluntary receipt" or "concealing" of people who had violated this act was also stated to be treason.
