On the 27th January 1626 the social climbing Hatton Family are rumored to have excepted the offer of wealth and power. The deal was sealed with a party in which Lady Elizabeth Hatton dance with the devil himself.
The devil became boisterous and killed Elizabeth leaving her perpetually beating heart behind.
"torn limb from limb, but with her heart still pumping blood."
The Street where the deal was struck became know as Bleeding Heart Yard and is named so still.
