The Act of General Pardon of 1660 was issued following the Restoration of Charles II and the return of the Stanley family to the Lordship of Mann. It pardoned those who had participated in the 1651 rebellion led by William Christian (Illiam Dhone), but specifically exempted four individuals from its terms, including Christian himself and William Qualtrough of Kentraugh. Christian was subsequently tried and executed at Hango Hill on 2 January 1663.
