Droit du seigneur
In Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro", which premiered in 1786 with a libretto by Lorenzo Da Ponte, the comic plot revolves around the successful efforts of the young bride and groom, Figaro and Susanna, to block the efforts of the unfaithful Count Almaviva to seduce Susanna. To achieve his aim, the frustrated Count threatens to reinstitute "droit du seigneur". It was based on a play by Pierre Beaumarchais.
London Figaro
Among those who contributed to it were William Archer (writing as "Almaviva", drama critic), Ernest Bendall, Faustin Betbeder ("Faustin", caricaturist), Percy Betts ("Cherubino", musical critic), Ambrose Bierce ("Passing Showman", "Town Crier"), Edward Bradley ("Cuthbert Bede"), Aglen Dowty ("Young and Happy Husband", "OPQ Philander Smiff"), John Baker Hopkins, Frank Marshall, Edwin Milliken, Clement Scott ("Almaviva", drama critic), and Edward Blanchard (drama critic). Mortimer was a chess master and so the Figaro had a chess column, which from 1872 until 1876 was contributed by Johann Löwenthal and from 1876 to 1882 by Wilhelm Steinitz.
