Annabella Milbanke
Annabella
Milbanke married the notorious Lord Byron on 2 Jan
1815, after refusing his first proposal of marriage in 1812. Byron called her
his princess of parallelograms, since she was interested in mathematics. She
tried to reform him, but her efforts were in vain. Byron treated her badly and
amost certainly had an incestuous affair with his half sister Augusta . With the help of her parents
Annabella obtained a divorce in 1816. By that time their daughter Ada Augusta
was just a few months old.
