I liked how it started but really where it went though. It does appear to identify the Vampire with the Historical Patrick Ruthven (or one of his sons) who murdered David Rizzio.<br /><br />Ironically this figure had intermarried with the historical Douglas family. So he could made the identification for the main play work without completely changing the name.Kuudere-Kunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06537085979461349854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-70287022522820193482013-03-12T15:24:11.565-07:002013-03-12T15:24:11.565-07:00interesting
