PLAYBOY BYRON??

Lord Byron is a famous poet as he is a celebrity today, the type of guy whom paparazi hunting for. He is developing a reputation, as Lady Caroline Lamb wrote after meeting him, of being“ Mad, bad and dangerous to know”.

Byron is a famous guy with his playboy attitude. He has many lovers during this time and finally he got married with Lady Caroline. This is not because of the length of their affair- they were only together a few months- but because she was as crazy as Byron. She would sneak into his rooms and go through his stuff and show up at his house disguised as a page. When they finally broke up she burned his effigy in a bizarre, pagan-like ritual, and maintained a virulent hatred of him for the rest of her life. Lady Caroline Lamb is not his most scandalous affair, however- not by a long shot.

Shockingly, according to some sources Byron had kept in touch with his halfsister, Augusta Byron Leigh, the child of " Mad Jack " Byron and his late first wife. Augusta once came to visit Byron while her husband and three children vacationed elsewhere. Then they two began a relationship of extreme, unsettling closeness until now. According to Byron caption and status in social media it is pretty clear that they have an affair they have a cute baby girl together.

However, though his relationship with Augusta continued, he began to court a woman named Annabella Milbanke. Rumors speculate that marriage may have been a bid for respectability, or a way to distance himself from the relationship with his half-sister that even he knew was wrong. Annabella, for her part, fell wildly in love with the hot young baron, who wrote love letters to die for.

The couple married 2 January 1815. It was immediately clear to both of them that they ' d made a huge mistake. Almost immediately after the wedding, Byron took his wife to visit Augusta, whose husband was away. During the two-week visit, Annabella slept alone in a guest room while Byron and Augusta shared the master bedroom. Byron and Annabella ' s marriage fell apart spectacularly hard and fast. Within a few months of their wedding day, he referred to his wife as " a nice little sullen nucleus of concentrated savageness. He flew into rages, ran up debts and carried on affairs that he made no attempt to hide. Annabella gave birth to their only child, a daughter named Ada Augusta, on 10 December 1815. A few weeks later, she took her baby and split, ending the marriage after one year and fourteen days. w r i t t e n b y N u r u l K h a l i d a
