The offence of treason involves "Compassing the Death of the King, Queen, or their eldest Son; violating the Queen, or the King’s eldest Daughter unmarried, or his eldest Son’s Wife; levying War; adhering to the King’s Enemies; killing the Chancellor, Treasurer, or Judges in Execution of their Duty". [Treason Act 1351].

1848 Act surprisingly was to convert various High treasons into felonies. Liberalising. hem yes
1351 Act was to regularise the common law on treason. Since the King's Dad, Edw II, poofta paddie they called him at the time, had died in er embarrassing circumstances, there had been common law treason spread/blur. So the 'new' law defined and restricted
