Byron wrote again to his sister of his troubles with his mother: "all our disputes have been lately heightened by my one with that object of my cordial, deliberate detestation, Lord Grey de Ruthyn." Byron's later apologetic letters to Grey and Grey's inability to understand his young friend's breaking-off of their relationship may point to a sexual relationship that Byron later regretted. They were not reconciled. In April 1808, Lord Grey left Newstead at the end of his lease. References 1780 births 1810 deaths Henry Yelverton, 19th Baron Grey de Ruthyn Barons Grey of Ruthin
