The poet Lord Byron became a star overnight, he was the toast of Regency society, adored by women who clamoured to meet him. When he met the married Lady Caroline Lamb, the niece of Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, in 1812 scandalous passions were ignited.
Regency England bore witness to their public displays of indifference and criticism while privately Byron and Caro carried out an intense affair that led to talk of an elopement.
After Lord Byron ended their relationship, Lady Caroline Lamb's obessive behaviour, her improbable but public suicide attempt, substance abuse and questions about her sanity marked the rest of her life. She wrote as passionately as she felt, *Glenarvon,* was a fictional and melodramatic account of her relationship with the infamous Lord Byron.
He wrote about and to her in his poems after his passions cooled, sometimes using hateful comments. Their compelling story could have been written in a regency romance novel. Byron went on to marry and have several more lovers, male and female, scandal followed him wherever he went. Was Lord Byron *mad, bad and dangerous to know?

Description: George I, George II and Prince Frederick of Wales were the epitome of a family at war, father against son, son against father. This royal family tale is dramatic, stunning, mind blowing as it turns farcical and tragic.
The fathers in the House of Hanover were said to trample their young...not literally of course! George I, father to George II was hated by his son. George II hated his son Frederick, Prince of Wales, the father of George III. George I actually liked Frederick which was a rare thing!
The Hanoverians needed to keep the Stuarts and their Jacobite supporters from taking power - while they imploded. Somehow, they survived.
When a royal rift occurs it isn't just the family that's affected, thanks to the press British people and politicians share in every ridiculous, painful or defiant moment. The Hanoverian kings and princes arguments, recriminations, accusations, displays of staged grandeur, rival courts and courtiers, alliances, banishments, imprisonments, deaths and neglect were played out as Robert Walpole rose to prominence as Britain's first Prime Minister.
The first Hanoverian kings of England reshaped the country, its fortunes, its government and their era gave us the national anthem and Rule Britannia but they were hopeless at loving and liking their own kin.

history is? What do these people wear on ceremonial occasions? What are the Orders of the Bath and the Order of Merit and why are they different to the order of the Garter?

Life peers outnumber hereditary peers in the House of Lords. Why and who are these life peers? Find out about M.B.E's, O.B.E's and C.B.E's, knighthoods, damehoods, and chivalric orders that date back hundreds of years. A number of titles were invented to give Charles II's illegitimate children status. But which ones?
