VG Teresa Guiccioli married at the early age of 17 a powerful ruthless and unpleasant nobleman in Italy, Count Guiccioli, who was fifty years older than her. Only three days later she met Lord Byron. A very dangerous relationship started as Count Guiccioli was widely believed to have ordered the murder of another nobleman. For plotting against the Austrian Empire, Teresa´s father Count Gamba was exiled. In 1823, the Austrian authorities allowed Count Gamba to leave his exile with the condition that the Countess Guiccioli had to end her relationship with Byron and return to her husband. Alexandre Dumas pere included Countess Guiccioli as a minor character in his novel The Count of Monte Cristo using the disguised name ''Countess G''.
