According to the Star Trek Encyclopedia, 4th ed., vol. 1, p. 111, the birth and death years of Lord Byron were 1788 and 1824, respectively. Furthermore, the authors wrote, "Lord Byron's flamboyant and passionate lifestyle brought forth great poetry but also led to scandal, forcing him to leave England and live in exile until his death in 1824."
