As instructed, Yueh takes Leto prisoner ; however, suspecting that the Baron has already killed Wanna, Yueh provides the captive Leto with a fake tooth filled with poisonous gas as a means to kill the Baron ( though Leto would die as well ).

When the tooth is crushed, intended victim Baron Harkonnen escapes, but Leto and De Vries die.

Upon meeting Baron Harkonnen and his twisted Mentat Piter De Vries, Leto bites down on the capsule.

In Dune, the Bene Gesserit breeding scheme is, in theory, to have come to full fruition from the union of an Atreides daughter ( planned to be born of the Bene Gesserit Lady Jessica and the Duke Leto Atreides ) and Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, nephew of the Baron Vladimir Harkonnen ( himself secretly the natural father of the Lady Jessica ).

The Bene Gesserit had also placed their acolyte Jessica ( herself the product of a secret Bene Gesserit liaison with the Baron Harkonnen ) as the concubine to Duke Leto Atreides, and married the Bene Gesserit Margot to Shaddam's close friend and minion Count Fenring.

The Baron Harkonnen appears to surrender Arrakis to House Atreides, which requires Leto to transfer all his people to the inhospitable desert planet.

His term as planetary governor of Arrakis proves short, as he is betrayed by Dr. Wellington Yueh, his family physician, who surrenders Leto alive to the Baron.

Yueh takes revenge on the Baron for the death of Yueh's wife and provides Leto with a false tooth filled with poison gas.

But Leto and his family are caught in a plot to destroy them, orchestrated by the Baron Harkonnen and Padishah Emperor Shaddam Corrino IV himself, who is threatened by Leto's rising power and influence.

Harkonnen has an agent in the Atreides household and the secret assistance of the Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV ; the Baron manages to kill Leto, and the Duke's concubine Lady Jessica and son Paul are left to die in the open desert.

In accordance with Bene Gesserit protocol, Jessica was conceived by the Baron Vladimir Harkonnen and the Bene Gesserit Helen Morhiam as part of the Bene Gesserit breeding program ; she was raised to be a legal concubine to the Duke Leto Atreides I, and instructed to produce for him a daughter, but no sons.

Subsequently in Dune, Shaddam orchestrates a plot to destroy the Duke Leto, with the eager aid of Baron Vladimir Harkonnen and his twisted Mentat Piter De Vries ; House Harkonnen and House Atreides have been bitter enemies for millennia, since the Battle of Corrin that ended the Butlerian Jihad.

The Baron Vladimir Harkonnen's intent to exterminate the Atreides line seems close to fruition as Duke Leto Atreides is lured to the desert planet Arrakis on the pretext of taking over the valuable melange operation there.

Also as instructed, Yueh takes Leto prisoner ; however, suspecting that the Baron has already killed Wanna, Yueh provides the captive Leto with a fake tooth filled with poisonous gas as a means to kill the Baron ( though Leto would die as well ).

In the 20th century, the " Mitford sisters " — six daughters of David Freeman-Mitford, 2nd Baron Redesdale and Sydney Bowles — became celebrated, and at times scandalous, figures caricatured, according to The Times journalist Ben Macintyre, as " Diana the Fascist, Jessica the Communist, Unity the Hitler-lover ; Nancy the Novelist ; Deborah the Duchess and Pamela the unobtrusive poultry connoisseur ".

The Baron, himself a dangerous intellect, also keeps Hawat's abilities in check by feeding him false data, specifically, permitting him to believe that Lady Jessica had been the traitor responsible for the Atreides ' destruction.

In January 1970, the play enjoyed its first Broadway revival at the Vivian Beaumont Theater at Lincoln Center, directed by Jules Irving and starring Al Pacino ( Kilroy ), Victor Buono ( Gutman ), Patrick McVey ( Don Quixote ), Jean-Pierre Aumont ( Casanova ), Jessica Tandy ( Camille ), Sylvia Syms ( the Gypsy ), David J. Stewart ( the Baron ), Susan Tyrrell ( Esmeralda ), and Clifford David ( Lord Byron ).

Matters are complicated further with the arrival of Jessica, a Bene Gesserit and the secret daughter of Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam and Baron Vladimir Harkonnen ( though Jessica herself is unaware of her parentage ).

Plunkett-Ernle-Erle-Drax is the quadruple-barrelled surname of the descendants of Admiral The Honourable Sir Reginald Aylmer Ranfurly Plunkett-Ernle-Erle-Drax ( 1880 – 1967 ), who was the younger son of the 17th Baron of Dunsany by his wife Ernle Elizabeth Louisa Maria Grosvenor Ernle-Erle-Drax, née Ernle Elizabeth Louisa Jessica Burton ( 1855 – 1916 ).
