Best Answer

Yes - she was married to Menelaus king of Sparta. Paris of Troy was visiting and persuaded her to strip Menelaus' palace of moveable goods and run off with him.

Ten years later when Troy was captured, Menelaus took back the stolen property plus whatever else he could lay his hands on, and headed for home - with also the other bit of his property, Helen.

What other relationships Helen had we don't know - one description of her was 'much-manned Helen'. Use your imagination.
