Urian and Anne Boleyn
On June 1st 1533, Anne Boleyn became the wife of King Henry VIII and subsequently gave birth to his daughter, who was crowned, Queen Elizabeth the First. As their marriage disintegrated, Henry sought to have the marriage annuled so he could marry Jane Seymour. Henry wanted Anne executed and the date was set for 18th May 1536. But due to protests and delays blamed on the executioner not arriving, it did not happen till the following day the 19th. So adamant was Henry in ridding himself of Anne, he also had her loyal and majestic Irish Wolfhound, Urian, executed too.
