Cleopatra was a ruler of Egypt as well as Gaius Julius Caeser. Cleopatra and Gaius had a relationship in which she gave birth to a son that they called Ptolemy Caesar who was nicknamed Caesarion.
After Gaius was assassinated, she aligned with Mark Antony, with whom she produced a set of twins named Cleopatra Selene II and Alexander Helios and a son called Ptolemy Philadelphus.
Mark Antony had committed suicide after his general misheard and believed Cleopatra to be dead. She had him brought to her and she was held prisoner as he died in her arms. She didn't want to be treated like dirt, as Caesarion wanted to bring her to rome to be pulled along the streets. She asked for a sanke to be placed in a basket of figs, as Caesarion did not want her to die. She let the snake bite her, ending her life.
But she most likely killed her self because she went mad after her two husbands died and did not want to dragged around the streets in rome and ended her life with a burning sensation flowing through her body.

∙ 11y agoCleopatra's lover, Mark Antony had stabbed himself because he had heard Cleopatra was dead. His army had also been defeated by Octavian, the enemy so he decided he had nothing to live for. Cleopatra found out that Antony had killed himself but it was too late. Octavian had captured Cleopatra. But he was kind to her, he let her organise Mark Antony's funeral but he wouldn't let her children rule Egypt so she decided she had nothing to live for and she commited suicide.

∙ 11y agoThe people Cleopatra killed all threatened her in some way. She was not a popular queen. The Alexandrians themselves wanted her brother to be their ruler, not her. That was one of the reasons for the Alexandrian war. So, in the tradition of the Ptolemies, the one in power, in this case Cleopatra, began killing off the rest of the family because they were the only ones who could have any claim to the throne. The others that she executed were her political enemies and she rounded up and executed a great number
of them after Actium.
