George Gordon Noel Byron was a famous English poet in the early 19th century known for poems like "She Walks in Beauty" and "There Be None of Beauty's Daughters." He had a turbulent personal life, being forced into debt and exile from England, as well as several romantic affairs and two failed marriages. Byron traveled extensively throughout Europe and used his experiences as inspiration for many poems before his untimely death in 1824 at age 36 from a fever during a rainstorm in Greece.
