I was on vacation in Ireland back in May. I had a couple pints at a place called the King's Head in Galway. Turns out that Oliver Cromwell couldn't get an Englishman to behead Charles I, so he asked for volunteers. Two Irishmen applied, and the one that became executioner was granted the property that is the pub.

I made a toast to the king's health

And in no way is today's history lesson meant to imply that anyone will be getting a free pub for every execution!
