15. What is the name of Manfred's son who was killed by a large helmet?
From Quiz The Castle of Otranto
Answer:
Conrad
The tale opens on the wedding day of Conrad, the prized son of Manfred, who would be marrying a princess, Isabella. While many of the guests are already in the church waiting for the ceremony to begin, a villager informs the party that Conrad has been killed in the most peculiar way: crushed to death under an obscurely large helmet covered in black plumes. An ancient prophecy foreshadows the fact that Manfred's lineage may lose the throne in Otranto, and the death of his treasured son on this day shows his true feelings in the matter. It is later revealed that the murder weapon, an obscurely large helmet taken from the statue of a past prince, was taken from its resting place. No one man could have performed the murder on his own. Manfred retires to his room to mourn, instructing that no one enter.
Later that day, Manfred's sole daughter and descendant, Matilda, dares to check on her father and she is soon told to leave. Instead, Manfred calls upon Isabella, the bride of the wedding. He tells her that he plans to give her a much older, experienced husband, unlike his frail, once-celebrated son. When he vows to marry her instead, Isabella worries and flees when he tries to force himself upon her. She only escapes when Manfred is distracted by a picture on the wall. Inevitably, he discovers that this moving picture is the spectre of his grandfather who leads him down the path he must take.
