Helen, the wife of King Menelaus of Sparta, was in Troy during the Trojan War where she had been taken by Paris, son of the King of Troy. It was to rescue her and punish the Trojans for taking her that the war started. Many historians agree with the biographer Plutarch (writing in 100AD) that Helen was in fact in Egypt during the Trojan War, as there are signs to that effect. Also if Helen had been in Troy, and Troy was faring so badly in the war, Helen would have been handed over for the sake of the city whether Paris consented or not.
