Lord Byron

Lord Byron was a poet. But he was famous for many other reasons . He is quoted as saying " I awoke one mourning to find myself famous". This quote is where we get our modern saying of "Overnight success" .

He wrote a great deal of famous stuff. Every thing he wrote became famous. (Like the Beatles of today)

More then his work...I will be talking about his friends and his daughters.

One of his close friends was a young lady named Mary and her famous writer Husband Percey. The 18 year old Mary would go on to become the first Science fiction writer of all time  (see post below)

Lord Byron married a mathematician . She was sometimes called "The Princess of Parallelograms" . He was a sensitive-Poet-type and she was a hard scientist;  at a time when it was thought that a Woman could not be such a thing. These two had a daughter that would grow up to be a mathematician herself. Her name was Ada.
This Ada would also become the first computer programmer of all time. (see post below)
