Lawrence marries Frieda Weekley in London
Poet involved
What happened
Following Frieda's divorce from Ernest Weekley, Lawrence and Frieda marry on 13 July 1914 in London. They had intended to return to the continent, but the outbreak of World War I keeps them in England.
Literary impact
The marriage provided Lawrence with a stable partnership that endured despite frequent conflict, and Frieda's German background and strong personality became central to his life and work. The legal union also exposed Lawrence to intensified suspicion during the war due to Frieda's nationality, shaping his experience of persecution and exile.
