"In March, 1803, Newstead Abbey was leased by Hanson to Henry Edward, nineteenth Baron Grey de Ruthyn, a young man of 23. He was to have the mansion and park for the years of Byron's minority for £50 a year. He invited Byron to stay with him at Newstead in November 1803 and apparently made some aberrant sexual advances to the boy, which offended and revolted him." (BLJ 1-45n)
