Her mother died when she was young, and she marries Posthumus Leonatus, who grew up with her.The King wanted her to marry Cloten, son to present Queen by a former husband. The King is mad, and he banishes Posthumus Leonatus, and Imogen is in all but name a prisoner. Posthumus flees, and draws his sword on Cloten, with no harm done. The queen is pretending to help Imogen, but is really helping the King.
