Yes, she married her brother Ptolemy XIII who co-ruled Eygpt with her. Marrying a sibling was common in the Pharonic family, the belief being that the Pharoahs were divine and it was necessary to keep the bloodline pure.

yes, she did. I believe she later had him killed and went on to have multiple affairs with prominent figures such as Julius Ceasar and Marc Antony.
