Question: Who is the author of the romantic tragedy in which Count Paris is a suitor to the only daughter of the patriarch of the House of Capulet?
Context: Juliet Capulet (Italian: "Giulietta Capuleti" ) is the female protagonist in William Shakespeare's romantic tragedy "Romeo and Juliet".  Juliet is the only daughter of the patriarch of the House of Capulet and falls in love with Romeo, a member of the House of Montague (with which the Capulets have a blood feud).  The story has a long history that precedes Shakespeare himself. Momal Rano or Mumal Rano (Sindhi: مومل راڻو‎ ) is a romantic tale of Momal and Rano from the Sindhi folklore and Rajasthani folklore.  It is a multifaceted story that entails adventure, magic, schemes, beauty, love, ordeals of separation and above all romantic tragedy. Count Paris or County Paris is a fictional character in William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet".  He is a suitor of Juliet.  He is handsome, wealthy, and a kinsman to Prince Escalus. Red Butterfly is a postmodern romantic tragedy written & directed by Jon Alston and starring Diogo Morgado, Christine Evangelista, Wilson Jermaine Heredia, Laurence Mason, and Byrdie Bell.  "Red Butterfly" is an original screenplay written by Jon Alston.  It is an independently produced feature with subject matter not typical of independent feature film.  Alston claims the film's primary audience to be "regular folk who like heavy entertainment."  The story is inspired by the works of both Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell; it explores the consequences of the unchecked human ego.  "Vice is Tragedy" is a theme that Alston claims to have had significance to him upon personal reflection of his time in the NFL.  The film premiered at the St. Louis International Film Festival and is slated to for domestic and international release in the fall of 2015. Lorenzaccio is a French play of the Romantic period written by Alfred de Musset in 1834, set in 16th-century Florence, and depicting Lorenzino de' Medici, who killed Florence's tyrant, Alessandro de' Medici, his cousin.  Having engaged in debaucheries to gain the Duke's confidence, he loses the trust of Florence's citizens, thus earning the insulting surname "Lorenzaccio".  Though he kills Alessandro, he knows he will never return to his former state.  Since opponents to the tyrant's regime fail to use Alessandro's death as a way to overthrow the dukedom and establish a republic, Lorenzo's action does not appear to aid the people's welfare.  Written soon after the July revolution of 1830, at the start of the July Monarchy, when King Louis Philippe I overthrew King Charles X of France, the play contains many cynical comments on the lack of true republican sentiments in the face of violent overthrow.  The play was inspired by George Sand's "Une conspiration en 1537", in turn inspired by Varchi's chronicles.  As much of Romantic tragedy, including plays by Victor Hugo, it was influenced by William Shakespeare's "Hamlet". Lover's Leap, or (in plural) Lovers' Leap, is a toponym given to a number of locations of varying height, usually isolated, with the risk of a fatal fall and the possibility of a deliberate jump.  Legends of romantic tragedy are often associated with a Lovers' Leap. Romeo & Juliet is a 2013 internationally co-produced romantic drama film adaptation of William Shakespeare's romantic tragedy of the same name written by Julian Fellowes and directed by Carlo Carlei.  The film stars Douglas Booth, Hailee Steinfeld, Damian Lewis, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Ed Westwick, Stellan Skarsgård and Paul Giamatti.  The film opened in the United Kingdom and the United States on 11 October 2013.  Like Franco Zeffirelli's adaptation of Shakespeare's tragedy, this film uses the traditional setting of Renaissance Verona, but, unlike previous major film adaptations, only follows the plot and uses only some of the dialogue as written by Shakespeare.  This has led to a controversy; several critics denounced the film's advertising as misleading and losing the essence of the play.  The film grossed $3 million. Stephan I, Count of Sponheim (d. ca. 1080) is the patriarch of the Rhenish branch of the House of Sponheim, which ruled over the County of Sponheim.  He was closely related to Siegfried I, Count of Sponheim, patriarch of the Carinthian Sponheimish branch, but the exact relationship between the two dynasts is disputed.  Johannes Trithemius credits a Count Eberhard of Sponheim as founder of the Abbey of Sponheim and dates the founding to 1044, a position questioned by Johannes Mötsch.  The "Genealogia Sponhemica" presents Count Eberhardus as son of Countess Hedwig and father of a single Count Stephanus I/II of Sponheim ().  Donald C. Jackman considers Stephan I a son of Siegfried I. Both Jackman and Josef Heinzelmann consider Stephan as being identical to Stephan, Vogt of Worms documented with his brother Markward in 1068.  Heinzelmann however casts doubt on a male lineage relationship of Stephan and Siegfried and sees Stephan I of Sponheim as being Lord of Sponheim but not a Count, notices that Stephan I of Sponheim is documented in 1075 as "S(igna) Stephani de Spanheim" with his seal in a document of Udo, Archbishop of Trier, and proposes Stephan to have married into the House of Sponheim.  In another work Heinzelmann considers the Stephan mentioned in 1075 to be Stephan II, or maybe a single Stephan, mentions a Mainzer "ministerialis" Stephan, the son of Embricho (Emich) and nephew of Archbishop Ruthard, who lived later, as a possible relation, and puts forward that the documented Stephan and Markward belong to the House of the Counts of Metz/Lunéville, which later provided the Vogts of Worms: The Faraway Lurs (also published as The Distant Lurs ) is a story by the American children's author Harry Behn, published in 1963.  It is a romantic tragedy along the lines of Romeo and Juliet. Mercutio ( ) is a fictional character in William Shakespeare's 1597 tragedy, "Romeo and Juliet".  He is a close friend to Romeo and a blood relative to Prince Escalus and Count Paris.  As such, being neither a Montague nor a Capulet, Mercutio is one of the few in Verona with the ability to mingle around those of both houses.  The invitation to Capulet's party states that he has a brother named Valentine.
