Mary Shelley was married to a German.
 On 26 June 1814, Shelley and Godwin declared their love for one another as Shelley announced he could not hide his "ardent passion", leading her in a "sublime and rapturous moment" to say she felt the same way; on either that day or the next, Godwin lost her virginity to Shelley, which tradition claims happened in the churchyard
 Shelley and Clairmont were almost certainly lovers, which caused much jealousy on Godwin's part
