Lady Byron passed to her grandson Byron King-Noel, Viscount Ockham. In her will she left a £300 legacy to the writer George MacDonald, whom she had patronized during her life. Lady Byron Anne Isabella Noel Byron, 11th Baroness Wentworth and Baroness Byron ("née" Milbanke; 17 May 1792 – 16 May 1860), nicknamed Annabella and commonly known as Lady Byron, was the wife of poet George Gordon Byron, more commonly known as Lord Byron. A highly educated and strictly religious woman, she seemed an unlikely match for the amoral and agnostic poet, and their marriage soon ended in acrimony. Lady Byron’s reminiscences, published
Lord Byron in popular culture plays con-man/thief-turned-FBI consultant Neal Caffrey, working under cover as substitute English teacher Mr. Cooper. During a class, Mr. Cooper has the class close their books and then recites Lord Byron's poem, "She Walks In Beauty"... Byron was the subject of a 1908 play, "Byron", by Alicia Ramsey, and its 1922 film adaptation "A Prince of Lovers", in which he was played by Howard Gaye. Tom Stoppard's play "Arcadia" revolves around a modern researcher's attempts to find out what made Byron leave the country, while Howard Brenton's play "Bloody Poetry" features Byron, in addition to Polidori, the Shelleys and Claire Clairmont.
