History of Cleopatra
Queen cleopatra of Egypt is the most well known of all the ancient egyptian queens. cleopatra was born in Alexandria in 69 B.C. during the reign of the Ptolemy family to Ptolemy XII. cleopatra appears to have been a popular name in the family, as her mother bore the name as well as an older sister, making the new daughter Cleopatra the Seventh, although she is rarely referred to as such. cleopatra and her family were not Egyptian, but rather Macedonian, descended through a general of Alexander the Great. cleopatra would become the first ruler of her family who could actually speak the Egyptian
In keeping with ancient Egyptian tradition, Queen cleopatra of Egypt married her then 12 year old brother. The marriage was not truly legitimate, however and considering the young age of her new husband and co-inheritor of the throne, cleopatra rule Egypt independently and as she wished. This lasted for only three short years before cleopatra received the same fate as her father and was exiled, along with another younger sister. Her 15 year old brother and husband remained to rule Egypt. cleopatra escaped to Syria, however she did not intend to give up without a fight.
