She married her 12- year old brother, Ptolemy XIII.
She had a son, Caesarion, out of wedlock. It's believed that Julius Caesar was the child's father.
She later gave birth to twins, Cleopatra Selene and Alexander Helios. Their father was Marc Anthony. He married her and she gave birth to another son, Ptolemy Philadelphus. Unfortunately, he was already married to Cleopatra's half-sister, Octavia.
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Octavia convinced Rome to declare war on Egypt.

After Ptolemy XIII 's death , Cleopatra married her younger brother , Ptolemy XIV. Cleopatra 's marriage with Ptolemy XIV did n't last long because he possibly died of disease .

Cleopatra had a son by Caesar , and when they returned to Egypt , Cleopatra had her brother , Ptolemy XIV eliminated , so her son Caesarion could rule jointly with her , as Ptolemy XV. A few years later , she formed an alliance with Mark Antony , and they were married in 37 B.C. They had plans for a vast empire , to be inherited by her sons by Caesar and Antony , but Octavian defeated Antony and Cleopatra at Actium in 31 B.C. , pursuing them to Egypt , where Antony committed suicide .

Cleopatra was first married to her brother Ptolemy (not sure of which Ptolemy) as was the custom of the time. Then, she was married to Julius Ceasar, although that marriage was not recognized in Rome because Ceasar was already married. She was then alledgedly married to Mark Antony, although that was always a matter of debate. Mark Antony also had a wife back in Rome.

She was married to two of her younger brothers. She hanky-pankied with Julius Caesar resulting in a son named Caesarian. Later she hooked up with Marcus Antonius, whether they were actually married is not certain.

arranged marriages weren't considered "compelled." Her brother grow to be some years her junior. She arrived at adulthood at the same time as he grow to be nonetheless a new child. She had the best instructors to income the "wiles" previously he ever had a raffle. They fought like cats and canine their entire lives. some issues in no way replace.
