Depressed by both his daughter's death and the drowning of [[Percy Bysshe Shelley]], Byron took up a new cause - that of Greek independence from the [[Ottoman Empire]]. Summoning support, he arrived in [[Greece]] with weapons and supplies, but before he could join the fight, went down with a deadly fever (malaria).'' <ref>[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0126406/bio Lord Byron] IMDb. </ref>
