Who was Charlotte Bacon?

Lady Charlotte Mary Bacon, née Harley, was the second daughter of Edward Harley, 5th Earl of Oxford and Earl Mortimer. Her beauty as a child prompted Lord Byron to dedicate the first two cantos of Childe Harold's Pilgrimage to her, under the name "Ianthe." She was also the subject of the painting Lady Charlotte Harley as Hebe by Richard Westall.

She married Captain Anthony Bacon in 1823. In Australia, Charlotte Waters, Northern Territory is named after her.
