    I thought canaries got carried into the mine as a punishment for the great canary uprising of 1742.

      I searched this up, second result goes: “In Viso del Marqués (Ciudad Real), an uprising occurred in 1742 on the occasion of a dispute regarding who should be the town doctor.”

      I wonder who became the down doctor…

      Other results find the conquest of the Canary Islands by the Spanish.
