Her baby was born on 12 January 1817 and initially called Alba, in allusion to Byron's nickname. At his request this was later changed to Allegra. Claire clearly hoped that Allegra would alter Byron's attitude to her, but that never happened.
21 de jul. de 2012 · On the first of March, 1821, Allegra Byron entered the Convento di San Giovanni like a small storm, accompanied by non-relations, overdressed women who handled her with cool affection.
Byron sent Allegra's body to England and John Murray tried to arrange a funeral at Harrow Church. He had written an inscription for a plague, that read "In memory of Allegra, daughter of G.G., Lord Byron, who died at Bagna Cavallo in Italy, April 20, 1822, Aged Five Years and Three Months,-'I shall go to her, but she shall not return to me.'-2 Samuel, xii, 23"
By now Byron’s illegitimate daughter Allegra had arrived in Italy, sent by her mother Claire to be with her father. Byron sent her away to be educated at a convent near Ravenna, where she died in April 1822. Later that same year Byron also lost his friend Shelley who died when his boat, the Don Juan, went down at sea.
