Anne Isabella Noel Byron, Lady Byron (born Anne Isabella Milbanke) (1792 - 1860), was the wife of George Gordon Byron, 6th Baron Byron, the poet. Prior to her death, she shared the story of her marriage to Byron with Harriet Beecher Stowe who published the account as Lady Byron Vindicated (1870) and all but destroyed Lord Byron's reputation. It was the first time suspicions of an incestuous relationship between Byron and his half-sister were publicized.
