Heritage of Storms: Lord Byron, His Romantic Inheritance and His Artistic Legacy.
Speaker:
Elizabeth Merry
Byron�s family history is a story as turbulent and passionate as that of any of his romantic and troubled heroes. The lame son of �Mad Jack� Byron, gambler, renegade Guardsman and debauched seducer of high society beauties, and rich heiress Catherine Gordon of Gight, who herself came from a long line of lawless and violent Scottish aristocracy, Lord Byron�s was indeed a heritage of storms.
