	cunobelin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Cunobelin, also known as Cymbeline (Welsh: Kynvelyn, Latin: Cunobelinus), was a legendary king of the Britons as accounted by Geoffrey of Monmouth and was king of the Catuvellauni tribe of Celts according to Roman records.
		Adverse to Monmouth's writings, other accounts state that under the leadership of Cunobelin and his son, Caratacus, the Catuvellauni became involved in many conflicts with local tribes.
		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.

		Cunobelin's aggressive policy of expansion that involved members of his family eventually lead to Roman concern over the extent of his power, and following his death just prior to AD43, the emperor Claudius took the decision to invade Britain.
		The grandson, or perhaps the son, of Cassivellaunus, and the father of Cunobelin and Epaticcus.
		Probably the youngest son of the British statesman Cunobelin, and thus the younger brother of Adminius and Togodumnus.

		Cunobelin's sons Caratacus and Togodumnus were defeated and Togodumnus died.
		Although the grave assemblages were not as rich and varied as that in the Lexden tumulus, the people with whom they were buried were of high status and presumably related to each other by marriage or birth.
		The theatre is not an orthodox type, (Footnote 25) unlike the more classical theatre in the colony, (Footnote 26) and the temple in its square-ditched enclosure is not of a purely Graeco-Roman style like the great temple of Claudius in the colony but is of the Romano-Celtic type.

		In the following years, the Catuvellaunii become a powerful tribe and their first king known by numismatic evidence is Tasciovanus, who was the probable founder Verulamion.
		In the 20s, evidence suggests a state of war with the neighbour tribe of the Atrebates, during the rule of Cunobelin.
		It was this conflict that provided the excuse for the Roman invasion led by emperor Claudius.

	Claudian Invasion
		Cunobelin took over control of Camulodunum from Dubnobellaunus and he so increased his control of Britain so that by the time of Tiberius, he, and the Cattivellauni, seemed to have had control over Kent as well as Essex and Hertfordshire.
		In fact, my reading shows that Cunobelin is mentioned with respect to the tribes and tribal areas of the Trinovantes, Cassivellauni and Cantiaci which might indicate that not only was he on good terms with Rome but held sway over a large part of the southeast - that perhaps a southeast proto-state was forming.
		After Cunobelin's death, his anti-Roman sons Togodumnus and Caratacus, took over; Togodumnus was soon killed as we have seen but Caratacus was to remain a thorn in Rome's side for years to come.

		His successor, Cunobelin, featured on his coins an ear of barley, emblem of beer, the British drink.
		By the early years of the first century BC he was issuing his coins from Camulodunum, the stronghold of the Trinovantian dynasty, the people of southern East Anglia, which suggests that they had been incorporated into his kingdom.
		A little later, Kent was taken over during the third decade of that century and by the next decade the northern half of the Atrebatic territory with its stronghold at Silchester was being ruled by one of Cunobelin's sons.

	Imogen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		When Cunobelin told his daughter Imogen that he wanted her to marry his stepson, Cloten, she defied him, saying that she wished to take as her lover Cunobelin's handsomest noblemen, Bosamis.
		With Bosamis out of the way, Iagon planned to return secretly to Cunobelin's court and use his knowledge of Bosamis first to make report of his infidelities to convince Imogen her that she had been forgotten, and then to woo her himself.
		Mersen, distraught at her son's death, took poison and Cunobelin, freed from her spell, was reconciled with his sons.

		In light of all these arguments, I am inclined to believe that Cunobelin had only the three sons mentioned in the classics, and that the 'brothers' of Caratacus who surrendered to Ostorius Scapula in the account of Tacitus were indeed, his 'brothers-in-law'.
		In the debate as to who was the eldest son of Cunobelin, many modern historians have favoured Adminius, using the argument that it was he who was given jurisdiction of Cantium by Cunobelin in c.
		Following Cunobelin's enfeeblement [c.AD40] Togodumnus took over the rule of the Catuvellauni from Camulodunon, and Caratacus began to invade the lands south of the Thames [the Atrebates and the Belgic tribes later to become known as the Regni].

		Cunobelin is generally considered to have also later ruled the Trinovantes, but whether he conquered them or had some legitimate claim which was recognised by that tribe, we do not know.
		Over his 30 years reign, Cunobelin had built up the most powerful kingdom in celtic Britain, extending his influence south of the Thames and also westwards according to Dio Cassius in his "Roman History".
		This expansion and the death of the great Cunobelin may have led the emperor Claudius to consider an invasion, in order to restore Roman authority.

		Such was the importance of Colchester in the Celtic world that the it was the prime objective of the Roman Invasion of A.D. 43 [Dunnett 75] which in turn led to Colchester becoming the Roman provincial capital and colonia (a chartered town enjoying special rights and privileges under Roman law).
		Cunobelin was referred to as Rex Britannorum (King of the Britans) [Col 96] by the Romans, a title that further reinforces the importance of this kingdom at the time of the invasion.
