Also known as "Lara's page", from Byron's poem: Lara. Precis of the poem: Lara is a lord with a page Kaled who, it turns out, is a woman in disguise. On Lara's death Kaled dies from grief.
This poem was written in the same year that Augusta Leigh, Byron's half-sister, gave birth to Elizabeth Medora, thought by most to be Byron's.
