So when I began to do research on Byron's first love I found that he had three. There names were, Mary Duff and Margaret Parker who happened to be his distant cousins. The third was Mary Chaworth who he met when he was attending Harrow. Byron wrote later that his passion for Duff started when he wasn’t even eight yet. He refused to go back to Harrow in September 1803 because Chaworth, he loved her but his mother wrote him saying this: "He has no indisposition that I know of but love, desperate love, the worst of all maladies in my opinion. In short, the boy is distractedly in love with Miss Chaworth." Later in Byron’s memoirs he describes Mary Chawroth as “the first object of his adult sexual feelings.” Byron ended up going back to Harrow in January, 1804 and realised he had emotinal involvments with Harrow boys. He says in his memoirs 'My School friendships were with me passions (for I was always violent)” he really focuses on a young man named John FitzGibbon, who he later meets unexpectedly when in Italy. He wrote a poem about his friendships at Harrow called “Childish Recollections”. Byron later went to Trinity where he met a man names John Edleston. He described him in his memoirs: "He has been my almost constant associate since October, 1805, when I entered Trinity College. His voice first attracted my attention, his countenance fixed it, and his manners attached me to him for ever." In later years Byron described his and Edleston’s relationship as “Violent but pure love and passion” Following up on some more research on this I found that Byron has a few more homosexual partners, At Cambridge he met John Cam Hobhouse and at King’s college a man named Francis Hodgson, who he kept in touch with untill the end of his life. He had an affair with a married women named Lady Caroline Lamb, from my research it was aware that it wasn’t well kept. There relationship was pretty publisized. It shocked the British public but Byron broke it off. Moving quickly on to his next affair such as Jane Elizebeth Scott AKA Lady Oxford. But Lady Caroline Lamb was still heartbroken from Byron and persuied him. He said later to her mother-in-law that he felt as if he were being chase by a skeloton because she was so destraught that she stopped eating. He had affairs with yet another cousin Augusta Leigh. And Anne Isabella Millbanke whome he had a daughter with.
