Madame Guillotine
Kill them all if they won't eat cake.

Chemise allegedly worn by Mary, Queen of Scots at her execution on the 8th of February, 1587. It is on display at Coughton Court, Warwickshire, the family seat of the loyal English Catholic family, the Throckmortons and has clearly been revered as something of a relic of the dead Queen.
I’m seeing a teeny tiny problem with this provenance though.

Like the fact that it’s still white and she was beheaded, aka a bloodbath? Yeah, I agree. Especially since the method of beheading at that time in history wasn’t as, er, sterile as the guillotine was later on.
