Annabella Milbanke
Born on May 17, 1792 at Elmore Hall, Pittington, Durham. She was born by the name of Anne Isabella Byron. She attended college at Cambridge University to a professor William Frend. Where she excelled in most of her classes. When Lord Byron proposed to her a second time in September of 1814 she accepted. They were wed on January 2, 1815. She was given the nickname "Princess of Parallelograms" by him. In that summer Lord Byron went "crazy". In November of 1815 when Lady Byron (Annabella) was pregnant she called her sister-in-law to help with the situation. Who was later thought to have been temporarily insane due to Byrons rath. When things settled down they moved and he told Lady Byron to stay with her parents until he got things steady financially. This was the last time that she saw him. On May 16, 1860 one day before her 68th birthday, Lady Byron died of breast cancer. She still carries the nickname "Princess of Parallelograms."
