 Cunobelinus — Cynon
The legendary Cymbeline (Cunobelinus) was the nephew of Cassibellaunus, King of the Britons.
And history         The historic Cymbeline, Cunobelinus, was King of the Catuvellauni tribe, which was centred in Hertfordshire; he maintained friendly relations with Rome until the reign of the emperor Caligula (A.D. 37-41), when one of the king's sons (Adminius), expelled from Britain, submitted himself formally to the emperor.
Since Cunobelinus had died two years before, resistance to the Romans was led by his courageous sons Caractacus and Togodumnus; but they were defeated and Caractacus was taken prisoner to Rome.

 ROMAN HISTORY
In Britain Cunobelinus (Shakespeare's Cymbeline) comes to the throne of the Catuvellauni; he completely absorbs the Trinovantes and moves his capital to Camulodunum (Colchester) in their area; he makes it the largest and richest center in Britain.
Cunobelinus, most powerful British chief, (see 5) is growing old, and there appear at his court two factions, the pro-Roman under his son Amminius and the anti-Roman under his sons Togodumnus and Caractacus.
Britain, while Caligula is playing with the idea of her invasion, is prospering, with four main kingdoms; that of Cunobelinus in the S.E., the Brigantes around the Humber, the Iceni in E. Anglia and the Dobunni in the W. as far as Devonshire.

Cunobelinus, after a reign of thirty years, abdicated in favour of his third son, Caradoc (Caractacus), who now became Arviragus or high king and by this title is most frequently referred to in the British Chronicles.
Julius Caesar, Tacitus, Suetonius, Dion Cassius and Orosius, Caractacus is shown to be the son of Cunobelinus; in Rome Caractacus was known also by his title, Arviragus, and is so referred to by the poet Juvenal.
This was the designation of Cunobelinus following his acceptance of Christianity and his resignation of the crown in favour of his third son, Caractacus.

Cunobelinus was less the image of the fairy tale king than the tribal chieftain or warlord.
At least one source refers to Cunobelinus as the leader of the Trinovantes tribe, and indeed almost all the mythical references, usually to   Cynfelyn, mention the Trinovantes as his tribe and claim that he conquered the Catuvellauni instead.
Cunobelinus appears to have had good relations with Rome and actually held off a Roman “exploration/invasion” party with diplomacy rather than force early in his reign.

 ninemsn Encarta - Multimedia - Celtic Coin of Cunobelinus
After the unsuccessful attempts by Julius Caesar to invade Britain in 55 bc and again in 54 bc a degree of contact seems to have been kept up between Rome and native British tribes.
There is evidence of the minting of local coins dating to the century after Caesar’s visits that use Latin names, rather than Celtic ones.
This coin, for example, bears the name of Cunobelinus, leader of the Catuvellauni tribe from north of the River Thames.

But to set the scene it is necessary to remember that the country was, at that time, in a tribal state, each with its own leader but perhaps having allegiance, when advantageous, to other tribes and other leaders, and at times, even to the Roman invaders themselves.
In AD 40, Cunobelinus, of the Trinovantians (an area north of present-day London) expelled his son, Adminius, who fled overseas and made an act of submission to the Roman Emperor Gaius.
At the death of Cunobelinus, his kingdom was divided between Togodumnus and Caractacus.

An instance of this is the Cunobelinus or Cynvelyn stone at Margam.
According to Mr Meehan, the wheel-crosses of Wales are from the seventh century at the earliest and the symbol of the cross derives from the Chi-Rho monogram.
I pointed out to Mr Meehon that there was a known Bishop Cyvylyn or "Cunobelinus" who was the brother of the same King Meurig of Glamorgan and who would therefore have been an uncle of King Arthur II or Athrwys.

 Kimbles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The three villages are respectively named for "The Greater village of Cymbeline", "The Lesser village of Cymbeline", and "Cymbeline's farm".
Their name comes from Cymbeline (also known as Cunobelinus) who was once King of the Catuvellauni, an ancient Celtic tribe of pre- Roman Britain.
Written about by William Shakespeare in his tragedy of the same name, Cymbeline was able to successfully stave off the planned Roman invasion of Britain led by Emperor Caligula by supporting the fiercely anti-Roman Druids and offering refuge to exiled fighters from Romanised Gaul.

A son of Cunobelinus, exiled to the Continent, who presented himself and a small group of supporters to Caligula around the year 39.
Cunobelinus was king of the Catuvellauni, a tribe which occupied territory north of the Thames centred on an area very approximately equivalent to Middlesex and Hertfordshire.
However, it is evident from the coins of Cunobelinus not only that he was the successor of Tasciovanus but also that his principal centre was now Camulodunum (Colchester), marked CAMU on his coins.

Cunobelinus succeeded his father, Tasciovanus, as chief of the Catuvellauni, a tribe centred north of what is now London.
His power and influence were so extensively felt in Britain that the Roman biographer Suetonius referred to him as "Britannorum rex." About Ad40 Cunobelinus banished his son Adminius, who thereupon fled to Rome and persuaded the emperor Caligula to make preparations to invade Britain.
After Cunobelinus' death, his two other sons, Caratacus and Togodumnus, displayed the hostility toward Rome that gave the emperor Claudius an excuse to impose Roman rule on the island.

If Caratacus was defeated there and not in the land of the Catuvellauni, it may be, in part, because of what had happened a hundred years before.

 An Introduction of Celtic Coinage
Cunobelinus (c.10BC-40AD) was a great Celtic chief based at Camalodunum, the area of present-day Colchester in Essex, not long before the Roman occupation of Britain.
One of the ways in which this can be seen is the fact that Cunobelinus and his predecessor Tasciovanus had imitated some of their coin styles.
Some of the coins of Cunobelinus had the letters TASCO printed on them, the first letters of Tasciovanus his predecessor, making it clear that he, Cunobelinus, was now in charge.
