Essay / yron during his lifetime. Byron was born in 1788 and died at the age of thirty-six in 1824. His handsome face, tumultuous life, and numerous romantic adventures made Byron the most talked about man of his time. H was known as a romantic and fascinating figure to his fellow Englishmen. In our current century, his reputation has been reduced to the simple status of poet. His childhood was colorful to say the least. Much evidence suggests 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 "wicked Lord Byron"; his father, an army officer, was nicknamed “crazy Jack” Byron.

I was exposed to physical and sexual abuse in his youth. I think there's a good chance he didn't. ever wrote a single poem.
