Augusta is mainly remembered for her unusually close relationship with Lord Byron. In 1813, rumors spread that their bond may have gone beyond what society considered proper, and some later speculated that one of her daughters might have been Byron’s child. This has never been proven and remains debated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Suvi Sholberg","offers":[{"title":"Cotton Satin","offer_id":52777494577490,"sku":"48100264","price":33.15,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cotton Voile","offer_id":52777494610258,"sku":"48500264","price":31.88,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cotton Poplin","offer_id":52777494643026,"sku":"48930264","price":31.88,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0631\/2656\/9218\/files\/Augusta_Leigh_5.png?v=1779965289","url":"https:\/\/summersunstories.com\/products\/1828-augusta-leigh","provider":"summersunstories","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
