Does anyone knows about any romances througout history??

Question

it must be a true story and not a myth..

Answer 1

Duke and Duchess of Windsor - King Edward VIII abdicated the throne of England in order to marry Walis Simpson.

The King's desire to marry a twice-divorced American with two living ex-husbands and a reputation as an opportunist caused a constitutional crisis in the United Kingdom and the Dominions, which ultimately led to the King's abdication in December 1936 to marry "the woman I love".

Queen Victoria and Prince Albert

John Alden and Priscilla Mullins

Answer 3

Anaïs Nin & Henry Miller (both writers). She wrote a few beautiful poems about him if I recall correctly.

Also, more recent are - Prince Charles & Camille... We all know the scandal with that "secret" relationship while Charles & Diana were married.... and ofcourse Johnny Cash & June Carter.  Johnny Cash's 1st wife Vivian came out with a book about their marriage a while back.  It was very interesting & had several of his love letters inside.

You could also look up Queen Victoria who married Prince Albert. After he died she went thru great morning & apparently wore black for the rest of her life.

That's all that came to mind.

Answer 4

Maybe English Literature? But it is History also.

Jane Austen, the famous English Author, fell in love with a guy, Tom Lefroy, but they could not be together because of the Society Structure where wealth determines your marital status. Plus Jane was frowned upon because of her profession--- Female Author.

So they could not be together and she was devastated, severely heart broken, but it did not stop there. Jane later went on to write 6 or 7 of the MOST FAMOUS ENGLISH NOVELS of her time. All of them are composed and centered on TRUE LOVE, the real love that she wanted but never had.

That is pretty factual and it is based on several letters written by Jane to her sister, so it was a historical relationship that later influenced her writings which has inevitably influenced thousands upon millions of writers/ readers/ and lovers since.  Maybe this helps? Maybe not… If not try Henry the Eighth and I think the Bolyen girl, that made him divorce his wife (who was a beloved queen) and seduced him into making several other decisions that ultimately cost him a large deal of his kingdom, and the respect of his people…. Maybe this is some help; I am not a professor, just a student. And some of this maybe incorrect, so please research it.
