T.E. Lawrence was dubbed "Lawrence of Arabia" by the press following his time fighting in the Middle East. But what the public knows about him from pop culture is only a small part of the story. This is the tragic real-life story of Lawrence of Arabia.

Lawrence's beginnings were, according to his biographical profile, quite scandalous for Victorian Britain. His father, the Irish nobleman Thomas Chapman, left his wife and two daughters to elope with their Scottish governess, Sarah. The pair then adopted the name "Lawrence" and lived under it as husband and wife, eventually having five sons together. T. E. was born August 16th, 1888 in Wales. Later, the family moved to Oxford.

T. E.'s youngest brother, Arnold, once remarked that the Lawrence boys' tumultuous childhood was harder on T. E. than the war. Some of that trauma was the result of great expectations. Sarah Lawrence thought T.E. was destined for an extraordinary life. It wasn't enough that he be a high achiever; he had to be perfect. Eventually, T. E. moved out of the family home and into a cottage at the edge of the property.
