Forgiving person for telling tale? (8)
I believe the answer is:
pardoner
'forgiving person' is the definition.
(someone who pardons or forgives)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pardoner that I've seen before include "who goes further than commuter?" , "Traveller to Canterbury" , "Pilgrim and storyteller" , "Indulgent old character" , "He had a tale to tell" .)
