The Treason Act 1535 or Forging the Sign-manual, etc. Act 1535 (27 Hen. 8. c. 2) was an Act passed by the English Parliament during the reign of King Henry VIII of England in 1535.
It made it high treason to counterfeit the Privy Seal, Signet or royal sign-manual.
The act was virtually repealed by the Treason Act 1553 (1 Mar. Sess. 1. c. 1), but another act passed later in the same year, the Treason (No. 2) Act 1553 (1 Mar. Sess. 2. c. 6) recreated the offence.[1]
The act was repealed by the Statute Law Revision Act 1863.
