Messolonghi
Lord Byron’s final days were spent at Messolonghi
where he arrived in January 1824. He knew that the immediate challenges confronting
the Greek struggle for independence were less military or economic and more
political. His main priority was not to make war on the Turks but peace among
the Greeks.
On the 9th April 1824, Lord Byron, having being soaked by rain whilst riding, suffered fever and rheumatic pains and within days was fighting for his life. “I have given Greece my time, my means, my health – and now I give her my life! – what more could I do?” were his last words.
