 | | To enhance his own gratification, after the seduction, Lord Ruthven requires his companion in sin be lurked from the pinacle of virtue to the very lowest abyss of infamy and disgradtion. | | | Lord Ruthven possesses irresistable powers of seduction as well as having licentious habits which make him dangerous to beautiful hostesses. | | | He has the reputation of a winning tongue and it is perhaps the reason that every good hostess seeks to have him on her guest list. |

| | Lord Ruthven answered, that his intentions were such as he supposed all would have upon such an occasion; and upon being pressed whether he intended to marry her, merely laughed. | | | He left Smyrna, and on his way home, at Rome, his first inquiries were concerning the lady he had attempted to snatch from Lord Ruthven's seductive arts. | | | They consented: and Aubrey immediately mentioning his intentions to Lord Ruthven, was surprised to receive from him a proposal to join him. |

| | Lord Gowen and Robert rushed in and secured the intended bride, who fainted immediately, for in the person of her noble cousin she beheld the form shown her by Una and Ariel in the cave of Fingal, and the vampire’s charm vanished away like snow before the meridian sun. | | | By what miracle did he behold Ruthven, Earl of Marsden, standing before him, and Lady Margaret hanging with chaste expressions of delight on his arm; there was a scar on his forehead, and he was much paler than before the battle, but no other alteration was visible. | | | Lord Ronald cast in the ring — instantaneously a hissing, as if of snakes, followed, but soon all was silent as the grave. |

| | The Ruthvens increased their strength by an early marriage to a Cameron heiress and in 1487, Sir William of Ruthven was created a peer. | | | A third brother had escaped and assumed the title of Lord Ruthven as did his heir but in the 17th century the line failed. | | | This incident was said to be in defence of the religion of the kingdom but in reality it was to get rid of the King's favourites, the Duke of Lennox and Stewart and the Earl of Atholl. |

| | The Resurrection of the Vampyre |
| | And Alexandre Dumas meets Lord Ruthven in “Entretien with a Vampire.” Morlock’s introduction to each volume is also notable in that he does an excellent job of discussing the early history of the vampire as literary character, tapping a new vein, if you will, rather than warming up the same tired factoids about vampires. | | | However, I had never realized to what degree Polidori’s masterful 1816 story was so influential. | | | Also included in each volume is an original short story by Morlock where, fittingly enough, literary and historical characters intersect. |

| | Lord Ruthven Assembly |
| | Once upon a time, in June of 1816, the poet Lord Byron challenged Percy Shelley, his wife-to-be Mary and her sister, and his personal physician, Dr. John Polidori, over which of them could write the scariest story. | | | Byron composed a fragment of a novel which was later picked up by John Polidori, completed, and published in 1819 as "The Vampyre". | | | Thus began our thankless task of tracking these wary creatures as they shamble around through our literature and culture, puncturing and infecting almost every aspect of our society as they go, far from their native earth and human origins. |

His eyes closed as the concluding word died upon his tongue. | | | The earl of Mar awaked about the twelfth hour, and sent to call Lord Ruthven, Sir William Wallace, and his nephews, to attend him. | | | Suffice it to say, that out of five hundred chiefs and chieftains who were present, not one of those parasites who used to fawn on you a week ago, and make the love of honest men seem doubtful, now breathes one word for Sir William Wallace. |

| | The Vampire in Fiction |
| | The erotically charged Ruthven or seductive Clarimonde can lead one down many darkly intriguing alleyways, and many of the lesser contributions to the genre can be very lucrative as they are hidden gems amongst mountains of sleaze and overprinted bestsellers. | | | In fiction, the vampire made his first modern appearance in a novella, originally mistakenly published under Lord Byron's name. | | | Originally published as a serial in Colburnâs New Monthly Magazine in 1819, as by Byron, and as a separate volume under Byron's name shortly thereafter, it was extremely popular. |

| | The following month’s edition carried a letter from Dr. John Polidori, who had been Lord Byron’s physician on his travels across Europe in 1816, claiming that the story was his own work, but admitting that it was based on a story Byron had begun and quickly abandoned in Geneva. | | | Indeed, the portrayal of Lord Ruthven was unnervingly close to the entrenched public image of Byron himself, that of an immoral and sinister anti-hero - an image which he had courted and even played upon, though he was quickly to weary of it. | | | The origin of the story can be traced back to the Villa Diodati on the shores of Lake Geneva, where Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Mary Godwin (later Shelley), Mary’s step-sister Claire Clairmont and Polidori spent a scandalous summer in 1816. |
