...background. At the time of Byron's fame, England was ruled by the fat, "superbly filthy" Prince of Wales, later George IV, who was known to have burst into tears when Beau Brummell criticized his clothing, and whose greatest achievement was his construction of the pleasure resort at Brighton (TIME, Aug. 19).
