Topic: Mandubracius


  
  Mandubracius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mandubracius or Mandubratius was a king of the Trinovantes of south-eastern Britain in the 1st century BC.
Mandubracius was the son of a Trinovantian king, named Imanuentius in some manuscripts of Julius Caesar's De Bello Gallico, who was overthrown and killed by the warlord Cassivellaunus some time before Caesar's second expedition to Britain in 54 BC.
John Koch suggests that Mandubracius may be the historical basis of the Welsh mythological figure Manawydan: he reconstructs the original form of his father's name as *Mannue:tios, and an earlier form of Manwydan as *Mannue:tiagnos, "son of Mannuetios".

 Britain, Roman Conquest of - Printer-friendly - MSN Encarta
Caesar was able to add his own observations and his account sheds light on a quarrelsome tribal society.
Mandubracius, a ruler of the Trinovantes, whose kingdom lay north of the Thames in what is now Essex, fled to Caesar as a result of an attack by Cassivellaunus, who seems to have been the most powerful ruler in Britain at this time.
One result of Caesar's invasion was to re-establish Mandubracius, but more long lasting were the treaty relationships which Caesar was able to impose, the annual tribute he demanded, presumably the opening up of Britain to Roman traders.

 Romans in Britain - The Trinovantes tribe
It is possible that the Trinovantes were one of only two British tribes knew of Caesar's intentions to cross the channel to Britain and so sent out ambassadors to the Romans in Gaul in an attempt to ensure they would be well treated should the Roman army invade and take over Britain.
Mandubracius was the exiled king of the Trinobantes.
The Catuvellaunian king Tasciovanus later claimed the thone of the Trinovantes and the two tribes became opposing sides in a war won by the Trinovantes, which enabled the Addedomaros to hold the throne.

 TRINOVANTES
Notes: Prince Mandubracius was exiled after the death of his father to Gaul by the Catuvellauni, where he joined Caesar and accompanied him on his second expedition to Britain in 54BC.
Julius Caesar was destined never to return to Britain - indeed, no Roman general was to set foot on the island again for almost one hundred years - but the influence that he had on the future political development of the southern British tribes cannot be underestimated.
20-15BC, but whether he was the son or grandson of Mandubracius is not known; indeed, it is possible that Mandubracius was the last of his line, and that his throne was taken by, or given to the family of Addedomaros.

At the time of Julius Caesar Julius Caesar's invasion of Britain invasion of Britain, the Trinovantes were ruled by Cassivellaunus Cassivellaunus, chief of the Catuvellauni Catuvellauni, who had apparently deposed the father of Mandubracius Mandubracius at some time prior to the Roman invasion.
Caesar's "Gallic Wars 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 55 BC.
However, when the Teuton Teutons under Arminius Arminius defeated the Romans in 9 9 AD, and caused the attention of the Roman military to be directed elsewhere, the Catuvellauni under their leader Cunobelinus Cunobelinus --- Shakespeare Shakespeare's "Cymbeline Cymbeline" --- attacked the Trinovantes and captured Camulodunum.

When the Trinovantes surrendered to him Caesar had demanded 40 hostages and grain for his army before releasing Mandubracius, the son of the tribal ruler killed by the Catuvellaunians.
Given the nature of the country, the Romans may well have initially taken their annual tribute in such commodities as grain and cattle for Britain was not then a society that was by any means on a wholesale gold or silver standard.
However, given the nature of Caesar it is hardly likely that the hostages taken were at all insignificant and, from his record elsewhere, Caesar would almost certainly have required sons of the tribal chieftains that had contested him to be included.
