	Steampunk: Lord Ruthven (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)

		Ruthven’s body is revived when it is exposed to the light of the full moon.
		Ruthven’s popularity was later overshadowed by J. Sheridan LeFanu’s Carmilla, John Malcolm Ryder’s penny dreadful Varney the Vampire: or the Feast of Blood, and Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

	The Ruthvens of Gowrie
		Lord Ruthven escaped to England, and died there 13th June, 1566, at the age of forty-six, just three months after the murder, having, however, before his death written a history of the affair, in which there is not one expression of regret or symptom of compunction for the crime.
		Ruthven, holding a dagger to the King’s breast, upbraided him with the death of his father, and declared that his innocent blood should be avenged.
		The vast extent of the possessions of the Ruthven family is shown by the enumeration of their lands and baronies given in the deed of their surrender to the King by the second Earl, A.D. for the purpose of their being resettled upon his eldest son and his heirs male, andc.

	John Polidori & the Vampyre Byron
		Even the term 'Byronic vampire' shows the influence of Polidori's master, and the fact that Lord Ruthven was based on his benefactor has been taken by some critics to point to a homosexual liaison between the two men.
		Ruthven is aristocratic, wealthy, a stranger to the society in which he finds himself, cold, aloof, physically different to the men around him, sexually tempting and alluring, often violent, and remorseless in his quest for the fulfilment of his desires.
		I would in fact argue that the creation of Polidori's Lord Ruthven had a similar effect upon the writers of the 19th century as the creation of Bram Stoker's Dracula has had upon writers and film makers of the 20th century.
