	Romans in Britain - The Catuvellauni tribe
		The Catuvellauni were something of an enigma in that they were not recorded by Julius Caesar anywhere in his writings on Britain.
		Yet when Claudius invaded in 43AD, the Catuvellauni were the most dominant tribe in Britain, having taken control by force of much of South East England.
		The next identifiable ruler of the Catuvellauni was Tasciovanus who took the throne around 20BC, though whether he was the son or grandson of Cassivellaunus is unknown.

	Catuvellauni - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Catuvellauni may be related to the Catalauni, a people of Belgic Gaul attested in the region of Châlons-en-Champagne.
		The territories of the Catuvellauni became the nucleus of the new Roman province.
		The tombstone of a woman of the Catuvellauni called Regina, freedwoman and wife of Barates, a soldier from Palmyra in Syria, was found in the 4th century Roman fort of Arbeia in South Shields in the north-east of England.

		The Catuvellauni were a group of Belgae peoples who are believed to have previously inhabited an area to the north-west of the river Seine.
		Like the Catuvellauni the people of the Trinovantes tribe were also Gallo-Belgic in their origins and shared similar customs, lifestyles, and beliefs which were virtually identical to their close and more aggressive neighbours to the west.
		The Catuvellauni king Cassivellaunus was elected leader of the British resistance by the war council during the two invasions of the Roman emperor Julius Caesar in 54/55 BC.

		AD 43) was a historical king of the British Catuvellauni tribe at the time of the Roman conquest.
		Togodumnus was a son of Cunobelinus, and probably succeeded his father to the kingship of the Catuvellauni, who were the dominant kingdom in the south-east of Britain at this time.
		The Atrebatian king, Verica, fled to Rome and gave the new emperor, Claudius, a pretext to conquer Britain in 43.

	CATUVELLAUNI
		It is apparent from the above extract that the tribe of Cassivellaunus inhabited the lands along both banks of the Thames, but with the majority of their territory lying to the north of the river; this description approximates that of the tribal lands later attributed to the Catuvellauni.
		On this premise, the Cassi were the precursors of the Catuvellauni tribe which was probably formed shortly after the departure of Caesar from Britain, whereupon 'Vellaunus of the Cassi' became the progenitor of the Catuvellaunian ruling dynasty.
		Cassivellaunus possibly formed the tribe later to become known as the Catuvellauni from a federation of smaller like-minded Belgic tribes living north of the Thames, specifically to counter Caesar.

		At the time of Julius Caesar's invasion of Britain, the Trinovantes were ruled by Cassivelaunus, chief of the Catuvellauni, who had apparently deposed the father of Mandubracius at some time prior to the Roman invasion.
		Caesar's Gallic Wars suggests that Mandubracius sought refuge among the Romans, and that Mandubracius provided intelligence to the Roman leaders, who apparently restored him to the chieftainship of the Trinovantes during the Roman invasion of Britain in 55 BC.
		However, when the Teutons under Arminius defeated the Romans in 9 AD, and caused the attention of the Roman military to be directed elsewhere, the Catuvellauni under their leader Cunobelinus --- Shakespeare's Cymbeline --- attacked the Trinovantes and captured Camulodunum.

		He was a powerful enemy of Rome and gave financial assistance to the druids of Anglesey, who at the time were a strong anti-Roman force.

		The Catuvellauni tribe are believed to have settled mainly in what is now Bedfordshire, south Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire around 100BC.
		By all accounts the Catuvellauni grew and prospered through a combination of conquest and strategic inter-tribal alliances before becoming absorbed, along with other southern tribes, within the Roman cultural then political-military order.
		Whatever reinterpretations may follow, the scale and still enigmatic coherence of Grim's Ditch is a reminder of the scope of social relations and degree of political centralization that framed the construction of the Stanmore mound.

	Renegade Miniatures - CELTIC INTER-TRIBAL WARFARE IN THE BRITISH ISLES 50 BC ~ 71 AD
		In the south-east, the warlike Trinovantes, holding lands from Essex to east Hertfordshire, were consistently pressured by the ambitious and aggressive Catuvellauni.
		During the winter of 55-54 BC, a savage inter-tribal war erupted when Cassivellaunus, the war-mad chieftain of the Catuvellauni, killed the Trinovantian chieftain in battle and forced his son, Mandubracius, to seek the protection of Rome.
		According to Tactitus, Dio Cassius and Suetonius, Caractacus seemed to be the main exponent of this new imperialism from his stronghold of the newly captured Atrebatic capital of Calleva (Silchester).

		It is in fact questionable whether the Catuvellauni used the Camp at all, as there is little evidence suggesting that they used or re-occupied earlier hillforts.
		Large and complex Catuvellauni settlements existed to the north and north-east of Gerrards Cross, the nearest being Cow Roast, near Tring.

		The Catuvellauni may be related to the Catalauni, a tribe in Belgic Gaul living in the region of Châlons.

		Under Cunobelinus and his family the Catuvellauni appear to have become the dominant power in south-eastern Britain and he ruled the joint Catuvellauni/Tronivantian kingdom from Camulodunum.

		His father Cunobelinus, whom Suetonius called rex Britanniarum, had been king of the Catuvellauni, the most powerful tribe in southern Britain, and the son of Tasciovanus, whose coins bear the name of Verulamium (St. Albans), then the tribal capital.

		The origins of Verulamium are pre-Roman when in the first century BC the Catuvellauni, a leading Celtic tribe, established a royal settlement on the plateau and vallyside south of the river Ver.
		The next identifiable ruler of the Catuvellauni was Tasciovanus who came to power c.20BC, though whether he was the son or grandson of Cassivellaunus is not known.
		The distribution of these coins suggest that Andocos or Andocoveros ruled over a territory on the western flank of the Catuvellauni, and was issuing coin towards the end of the reign of Tasciovanus (c.15BC-c.AD10) at the turn of the first century AD.

		Caratacus was the king of the Catuvellauni, a tribe of Britons who inhabited a good bit of the country at the time that the Romans were conquering their way north, following Julius Caesar's landings and Claudius's forays.
		The Catuvellauni and their neighboring Britons didn't really have the manpower or the weapons that the Romans had, so they made do with what they did have: courage, a willingness to defend their homeland with their last ounces of strength and blood, and guile.
		Claudius was quite impressed with the Catuvellauni commander, having heard his name spoken and denounced and whispered for many a year.

	= Sandridge Village History: Prehistory =
		The Catuvellauni people were predominant north of the river Thames in Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire with extensions to the east and south comprising settlements, perhaps fortifications (but certainly not townships as we would imagine them to be) were loosely federated.
		After this, in the reign of King Tasciovanus (the son of Cassivellaunus) the 'capital' was moved in c.15 BC to Pré Wood at St. Albans which could already have been a small settlement on the Ver.
		It may have been that after the defeat by Cæsar in 54 BC it was decided to build stronger entrenchments and ditches on more defensive ground at the river Ver some five miles or so distant in case of a further attack by the Romans.
