oh my GOSH Nonnie I’m so glad you asked

because I went looking for some good sources on Lord Byron goss and I found out Archive. org has a page of ANECDOTES OF LORD BYRON , FROM AUTHENTIC SOURCES

GOLD

okay here’s just one, from Thomas Moore and Samuel Rogers:

When we sat down to dinner, I asked Byron if he would take soup? ‘No; he never took soup.’ — ‘Would he take some fish? — ‘No; he never took fish. — Presently I asked if he would eat some mutton? ‘No; he never ate mutton. — I then asked if he would take a glass of wine? 'No; he never tasted wine. — It was now necessary to inquire what he did eat and drink; and the answer was, 'Nothing but hard biscuits and soda-water.’ Unfortunately, neither hard biscuits nor soda-water were at hand; and he dined upon potatoes bruised down on his plate and drenched with vinegar. — My guests stayed till very late, discussing the merits of Walter Scott and Joanna Baillie. — Some days after, meeting Hobhouse, I said to him, 'How long will Lord Byron persevere in his present diet?’ He replied, 'Just as long as you continue to notice it.’ I did not then know, what I now know to be a fact — that Byron, after leaving my house, had gone to a Club in St. James’s Street, and eaten a hearty meat supper.

ORIGINAL BYRONIC VAMPIRE DOES NOT DRINK….WINE

AT LEAST NOT WHILE YOU’RE WATCHING

omg have another:

Byron savoured being a faux military General. He constructed two small stone forts on the edge of his lake and launched a fleet of toy ships, which he spent entire days directing while hidden in his fort. He even got his servant to sit still in a small boat in the lake and ‘command the ships’, involving pushing them around and making cannon and whistle noises with his mouth.

and one more :

While he was studying at Cambridge, he was told all pet dogs were banned (wanting his bulldog Smut living in his dorm). Byron was so annoyed he bought a tame bear instead. He’d walk the bear around the grounds on a chain like a dog and got great pleasure from the terrified reactions.Byron tried to get the bear enrolled as a student. He said, ‘I have got a new friend…a tame bear…they asked me what I should do with him, and my reply was, ‘he should sit for a fellowship.’

OKAY THAT’S ALL FOR NOW but thank you so much for that ask, Nonny

I’m gonna hope Byron Fans tag on with more Byron Adventures because he is always Storytime Gold!
