The name 'Lord Byron' means noble standing to the Byron family line. The Byron family line originated in the northern French region of Normandy. Descendants of the original line relocated to England. It was family member Sir John Byron who laid the groundwork for the subsequent title by his ownership of the Newstead lands and priory of Nottinghamshire, in 1540. His great-grandson John Byron became the 1st Baron Byron in 1643. He died childless, thereby passing the title of 2nd Baron Byron to his brother Richard Byron. The 3rd, 4th, and 5th Barons Byron were direct descendants of the 2nd. But William, 5th Baron Byron outlived both his son and his grandson. The title of 6th Baron Byron thereby passed to William's nephew, poet George Gordon [January 22, 1788-April 19, 1824]. The poet's father was a Byron. But the poet's mother insisted upon naming her son after her own grandfather, George Gordon. For her grandfather descended from Sir William Gordon of Gight, a grandson of King James I of Scotland [December 10, 1394-February 21, 1437].

How does Lord Byron relate to the book Frankenstein?
Mary Shelley's inspiration for the novel came out of a story she wrote when Byron, Percy Shelley and Mary Shelley were staying on lake Geneva. The three of them challanged each other to a ghost story competition. Mary's story became Frankenstien.Further, many aspects of Byron's personality are said to have inspired aspects of "the creature". Byron had a club foot which cause him to walk with an awkward and shambling gait. Of all the Romantic Poets Byron best represents the spirit of firey indignation and willfullness that accompanies the Romantic spirit, both in his writing (see Prometheus and Manfred) as well as in his life.
