36. George Gordon, Lord Byron
At 10, uncle died and he became the 6th Lord Byron.
Had a clubfoot: this pushed him to be very athletic:
expert boxer, fencer, horseman, and a powerful swimmer.
He had a magnetic personality and women
thought he was a very handsome.
Because he was less than circumspect in his relationships
with marriage was forced to leave England.
He assisted in the Greek war for independence
from the Turks (Worn out from the war, he became sick
and died just after his 36th birthday).
The Greeks think of him as a hero.
The embodiment of the Byronic hero: tortured, passionate,
moody, remorseful, unrepentant wanderer.
