Count Julian: a Tragedy.

First edition of Landor’s first play, unacted, but a succès d’éstime, published in ‘a small edition’ (Oxford DNB). The episode in Spanish history which it treats – the vengeance taken by Don Julián, 8th-century ruler of Ceuta, against Roderigo, King of the Goths, who has dishonoured Julián’s daughter – was also used by Walter Scott (The Vision of Don Roderick, 1811), Southey (Roderick, the last of the Goths, 1814) and, earlier, William Rowley (All’s lost by Lust, 1633).

Adapted by Byron’s Friend and Banker
