From: "Kay, Martin (DEI)", [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have heard a version of this which has it that the monkey was from a French or Spanish warship which came to grief on the coast during one of the many disagreements between England and our continental neighbors over the centuries, possibly dating as far back as the great but ill-fated Spanish Armada expedition. It was a mascot/pet as it was evidently wearing a miniature uniform when it was found, which resulted it it's trial and subsequent "execution" as an enemy of the realm.
