Lord Byron began courtship
with Anne Isabella Milbanke, whom he married later on. After some
initial refusals, Milbanke finally decided to marry Byron. Soon enough
she was ill treated by the great poet that followed into a separation.
They had a private wedding ceremony at Seaham Hall in County Durham on
January 2, 1815. Byron after their wedding went into severe financial
crisis and started growing more and more upset day by day.
“November 16, 1814
My Heart -
We are thus far separated - but after all one mile is as bad as a thousand, - which is a great consolation to one who must travel six hundred before he meets you again. If it will give you any satisfaction - I am as comfortless as a pilgrim with peas in his shoes - and as cold as Charity - Chastity or any other Virtue.”
