Lady Caroline Lamb
Historical drama recounting the story of the scandalous affair between the wife of up-and-coming English politician William Lamb and unconventional Romantic poet Lord Byron.
Caroline Ponsonby, the highly strung daughter of Lord and Lady Bessborough, rushes into marriage with William Lamb, Viscount Melbourne. Growing bored with her placid husband, Caroline is drawn to the undeniable charms of fledgling poet George Byron and they begin a torrid affair, but since neither of them are prepared to play to the rules of Regency high society, their indiscretion leads to tragedy.
