Lord Byron’s Lovers

I decided to create this section because, in his own time as well as ours, Byron’s many love affairs formed a great part of the ‘Byronic’ legend. Also, they’re fun to read about. This is the 19th century equivalent of the National Enquirer – except these stories are true! They are only briefly described here; if you want the in-depth stories, pick up Marchand’s 3-volume biography.

Portraits of several of these ladies are available at the link below. Most are coming soon. We will update the website accordingly.
