He entertains a base passion for the Princess Leonōra, who is in love with Manrico; and, in order to rid himself of his rival, is about to put him to death, when Leonora promises to give herself to him if he will spare her lover. The count consents; but, while he goes to release his captive, Leonora poisons herself.—Verdi, Il Trovato´rê (an opera, 1853).

Lundin (The Rev. Sir Louis), town clerk of Perth.—Sir W. Scott, Fair Maid of Perth (time, Henry IV.).
Lunsford (Sir Thomas), governor of the Tower. A man of such vindictive temper that the name was used as a terror to children.

As bad as Bloody-bones or Lunsford.
