Queen Mary’s Dog
Then
one of the executioners, pulling off her garters, espied her
little dog, which was crept under her clothes, which could not
be got forth by force, yet afterwards would not depart with
the dead corpse, but came and lay
between her head and her shoulders, which being imbrued with
her blood was carried away and washed, as all things else were
that had any blood was either burned or clean washed.
From
the official record of Mary I’s beheading, Feb 1587.
