Poet Lord Byron is also known as George Gordon. He fathered a daughter with Claire Clairmont. The child was raised by her mother until she was 15 months old. Byron decided to take over and forced Clairmont to give the child up for adoption. Byron then took the little girl to Italy. He changed her name from Alba to Allegra and then left her at a convent to be cared for by nuns. She sadly died just one year later.
