# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  George Gordon Byron, 6th Baron Byron, was born 22 January 1788 and educated at Trinity College, Cambridge. His lengthy narratives Don Juan and Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, along with shorter lyrics in Hebrew Melodies, made him one of the major figures of the Romantic movement and among the greatest British poets. After graduation he travelled extensively in Europe, living seven years in Italy—Venice, Ravenna, Pisa, Genoa—where he frequently visited his friend and fellow poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. Threats of lynching forced him to flee back to England, but later he joined the Greek War of Independence to fight the Ottoman Empire. He died leading a campaign on 19 April 1824, age 36, from a fever contracted after the sieges of Missolonghi; Greeks revere him as a folk hero.
