Best Answer

The earliest known use of the phrase "off with his head" appears to come from Shakespeare. Queen Margaret says it in Henry VI and Richard says it in Richard III.

The phrase was popularised by its appearance in Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, in which the Queen of Hearts says it numerous times.

It is, of course, a reference to execution by means of decapitation.
