Very mixed-up and rather confusing. She had three husbands and one lover. Her first husband was her older brother, who died of a fatal wound. Her second husband was her younger brother, who died by drowning in a river because he was wearing gold armor. She then had a lover, Julius Caesar, the dictator of Rome, who she had her first child with, who was called Caesarion. When Caesar was murdered in Rome, she then married Marc Antony, who was a Roman general. They had three children; a twin boy and girl, and a little boy. Unfortunately, the twin girl, named Cleopatra Selene, was the only child of the four to live to adulthood. When Octavius conquered Egypt, Marc Antony killed himself because he was ashamed of the military defeat an thought Cleopatra was dead. Later that same day, knowing her husband was dead, Cleopatra let herself be bitten by a poisonous snake and died as well. She was going to be a slave to Rome her whole life if she lived, and who wants that? To her, her life was over. Very dramatic and overall melancholy love life, if you ask me. I mean, come on, all of her husbands died, and then she commitied suicide. Poor Cleopatra.
