Topic > yron during his lifetime. Byron was born in 1788 and died at the tender age of thirty-six in 1824. His handsome face, wild life, and numerous love affairs made Byron the most talked about man of his time. He was known by his fellow Englishmen as a romantic and charming figure. In our current century his reputation has been reduced to simply being known as a poet. His childhood was colorful to say the least. There is much evidence to suggest that mental instability ran in his family. Byron was born on January 22, 1788 in London. His great-uncle, from whom he inherited the title, was known as “the wicked Lord Byron”; his father, an army officer, was called "mad Jack" Byron. This wealth and the Byronens' nicknames went back at least to Lord Byron's grandfather, a vice admiral, known as "Foul Weather Jack". He gave it this name because it had the reputation of attracting storms. These titles given to his family only add to the evidence of mental instability. Here's an interesting note: (His family had a long tradition of marrying his cousins; as a result, there were some oddities among their ancestors.

He would have had a completely different profession and a completely different lifestyle. The world has been blessed by Lord Bryon's many poems, but only through the suffering of another human being.
