The Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland is the most famous person to say "off with his head."
In movie versions, her character is often combined with that of the Red Queen, although she was originally an entirely separate person who first appeared in Through the Looking Glass.
"Off with his head" was also said by Queen Margaret in Shakespeare's play Henry VI. It is possible that this may be the original inspiration for Lewis Carroll's tyrannical Queen of Hearts.
The phrase "Off with his head!" is famously attributed to the Queen of Hearts in Lewis Carroll's book "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." The Queen of Hearts issues this command as a frequent punishment for characters in the story.
