  Ordovices - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The resistance was mainly organized by the Celtic leader Caratacus, exiled in their lands after the defeat of his tribe in the Battle of Medway.
Caratacus became the warlord of the Ordovices and neighbouring Silures, and a Roman public enemy in the decade of 50.
Following the Battle of Caer Caradock, where governor Publius Ostorius Scapula defeated Caratacus, the Ordovices stopped being a threat to Rome, probably due to heavy losses.

Along with his brother Togodumnus, Caratacus led the defence of the country, but they were defeated: Togodumnus was killed in the Battle of Medway and Caratacus was forced to flee.
Finally, in 50 AD, Scapula managed to defeat Caratacus in the Battle of Caer Caradock and Caratacus was forced to flee once more, this time to the North.
Seeking asylum in the Brigantes lands of queen Cartimandua, Caratacus was betrayed by her and delivered to the Romans as a proof of her alliance.

Caratacus and his brother Togodumnus led the initial defence of the country against Aulus Plautius's legions, primarily using guerilla tactics, but were defeated in two crucial battles on the rivers Medway (see Battle of Medway) and Thames.
Finally, in 51, Scapula managed to defeat Caratacus in a set-piece battle somewhere in Ordivician territory (see the Battle of Caer Caradock), capturing Caratacus's wife and daughter and receiving the surrender of his brothers.
Caratacus himself escaped, and fled north to the lands of the Brigantes.
