What is the greatest love story in history?

Napoleon and his love of France.

I would say him and Josephine, it was so turbulent and failed but even on his deathbed she was his last words.

>King of Germany invades territory of House Welf
>Welfs put up heroic defense but siege is coming to an end
>Terms of surrender say all the women in the castle may leave unmolested along with anything they can carry on their backs
>These women carried their husbands on their backs

>Castle named Weibertreu

That one Chinese Emperor who was monogamous and his wife.

I recall reading about some Roman senator who got teased by his colleagues because he was genuinely in love with his wife and refused to cheat on her

>At her church funeral, as Montefiore claims, Stalin said, "This creature softened my heart of stone. She died and with her died my last warm feelings for humanity." She was buried at the Kukia cemetery next to Saint Nino's Church in Tiflis. Stalin, distraught, threw himself into her open grave and had to be dragged out. He spotted Okhrana agents approaching and fled.

>"I was so overcome with grief that my comrades took my gun away from me," he later recalled. Wrote Monaselidze, "Soso sank into deep grief. He barely spoke and nobody dared speak to him. All the time he blamed himself for not accepting our advice and for taking her to Baku in the heat."

>Stalin his placed his hand over his heart and lamented: "It's all so desolate here, so indescribably desolate".

That was Pompey the Great. Dude was in love with Caesar's daughter, Julia. It was a tragedy that she died, maybe Caesar and Pompey could have patched things up in the end.

Temujin actually adored Borte. She was betrothed with him when she was 10 and he was 9. They married at 18 and 17. She got kidnapped by the tribe of Temujin's mother in retaliation for HER kidnapping by Temujin's father years before.

The entire reason he began his conquests was because he launched a rescue mission which just kept tipping over more dominos. Y'know and revenge for being cucked.

TFW No steppe waifu to teach your children the ways of the bow and the falcon
Feels bad man

They say Ivan the terrible went edgelord when his wife Anastasia died

"I never ever spent such an evening!! My dearest dearest dear Albert sat on a footstool by my side, and his excessive love and affection gave me feelings of heavenly love and happiness I never could have hoped to have felt before! He clasped me in his arms and we kissed each other again and again! His beauty, his sweetness and gentleness—really how can I ever be thankful enough for such a husband."

IIRC they fucked so often they had a bell attached to the door which alerted them to get dressed if someone knocked

John and Abigail Adams

James Joyce and Nora Barnacles
>My love for you allows me to pray to the spirit of eternal beauty and tenderness mirrored in your eyes or to fling you down under me on that soft belly of yours and fuck you up behind, like a hog riding a sow, glorying in the open shame of your upturned dress and white girlish drawers and in the confusion of your flushed cheeks and tangled hair. It allows me to burst into tears of pity and love at some slight word, to tremble with love for you at the sounding of some chord or cadence of music or to lie heads and tails with you feeling your fingers fondling and tickling my ballocks or stuck up in me behind and your hot lips sucking off my cock while my head is wedged in between your fat thighs, my hands clutching the round cushions of your bum and my tongue licking ravenously up your rank red cunt. I have taught you almost to swoon at the hearing of my voice singing or murmuring to your soul the passion and sorrow and mystery of life and at the same time have taught you to make filthy signs to me with your lips and tongue, to provoke me by obscene touches and noises, and even to do in my presence the most shameful and filthy act of the body.

Pygmalion. He loved his waifu statue more than real women and wished for her to be real.

The forbidden love stories

I'm disappointed nobody mentioned Heloise and Abelard, since they're the a stereotype of courtly romance.

Alternatively, this:

Makes you wonder. Would he have been less ruthless had she lived to soften him up?

Damn, first time I'm hearing about that. Those based women. Would that be really possible, though? I mean, wouldn't the average man be bigger and heavier than their women?

Me and my bitch.

by Emily Dickinson

"Why do I love" You, Sir?
Because—
The Wind does not require the Grass
To answer—Wherefore when He pass
She cannot keep Her place.

Because He knows—and
Do not You—
And We know not—
Enough for Us
The Wisdom it be so—

The Lightning—never asked an Eye
Wherefore it shut—when He was by—
Because He knows it cannot speak—
And reasons not contained—
—Of Talk—
There be—preferred by Daintier Folk—

The Sunrise—Sire—compelleth Me—
Because He's Sunrise—and I see—
Therefore—Then—
I love Thee—

You forgot to mention how successful you are.

Kawaii

The guy fucked million of women, conquered thousands of lands, made China shit it's collective self. All because he could not keep his waifu safe?

That dedication is admirable, even if the causes are dubious.

Fucking legend.
