In the 14th century, Edward II became the first Master of Otterhounds in England, and Elizabeth I was the first Lady Master of Otterhounds, but other royals also kept Otterhounds: King John, (1199-1216), Henry VI, Edward IV, Richard II and III, Henry II, VI, VII and VIII and Charles II, and each held the title of Master of Otterhounds at some point in history. The only “modern’ owner of Otterhounds that we could find is actor, Donald Sutherland. Did we miss anyone?
