In Edgar Allan Poe's story "The Pit and the Pendulum," the narrator is saved from the descending razor-sharp pendulum at the last moment by French soldiers who liberate him from the Spanish Inquisition dungeon.
Poe was given the last name Allan by his foster parents, John and Frances Allan. However, his birth name was Edgar Poe, and he later adopted Poe as his middle name as well as his literary pseudonym.
He asks if he will ever see his love again
He was Poe's foster father. Hence his middle name (Allan). He didn't wan't to change his last name in respect of his dead parents, so he moved it to his middle name. The Allans never adopted Poe, so he did not have to accept Allan as a last name either.
His mother died and his father left him... there were two women who knew his mother, and one adopted his sister. The other adopted him. Their last name was Allan, so they made that Edgar's middle name. John Allan didn't like Edgar, and disowned him when his wife died. Eventually, Edgar did find love-- a girl named Virginia. But she died of "consumption" at an early age, inspiring a lot of Poe's works, such as the Raven, and Annabel Lee.
Edgar the Atheling was born in Hungary in 1051 and died in the year 1126. He was proclaimed the King of England in 1066, but was never crowned because war was brewing and the consensus was, he was too young to handle it.
