George Gordon Byron, 6th Baron Byron (Lord Byron) is certainly one of the best-known British poets of the early 19th century. Best known for works like Don Juan (famously pronounced “JOO-an”) and “She Walks in Beauty”, he caused a scandal when he became involved with Lady Caroline Lamb (who once described Byron as “mad, bad, and dangerous to know”). This was one of many of Byron’s very public relationships. The Westminster Abbey website refers to this as “open profligacy” which caused the failure to commemmorate Byron at Poet’s Corner until 1969. Instead, his body is buried in Nottinghamshire.
Funny story: according to reports from the audience of this game, they actually had to re-shoot Alex’s opening to the game, because Alex referred to Alan as a College champion. Lilly Chin and Sam Deutsch are the College Champions in this tournament, but it does not surprise me that Alex thinks Alan is that young, as Alan Lin’s age (he was not yet 25 during his original run) was a popular search topic in late April and early May during his original games.
