Cleopatra married her brother(s) because under Egyptian law a woman ruler had to have a male co-ruler. The Ptolomies always intermarried in order to keep their Greek blood pure. After killing off her younger brother/husband, she named her baby son Caesarion, as her co-ruler, in order to get around this legal inconvenience.
