Grey-a-Day #11:
At one time only Royalty & Nobleman were permitted to keep greyhounds. King Henry VIII was fond of coursing and had a collection of greyhounds on hand; the dog is still a symbol of the House of York to this day. Queen Elizabeth I was also fond of coursing and greyhounds, and even enacted “The Law of the Lease,” meaning that the prey had a head start, in order to make the game more interesting.
