He only saw her once, according to Florentine legend, and fell hopelessly in love. Beatrice, on the other hand, married another man and later died in 1290, leaving Dante to seek solace in philosophy, literature, and poetry. Meanwhile, Dante had been legally promised in marriage to another woman, Gemma Donati, the daughter of a powerful Guelph family, when he was just 12 years old. Dante's love for Beatrice famously inspired most of his life's work, despite the fact that he and Gemma were married and had children together.
