0043 CE | The Romans marched against the Britons in Camulodunum, the tribal capital of the Catuvellauni. The king, Cunobelinus, had been dead for several years but one of his two sons, Caratacus, also known as Caradoc and chief of the Catuvellauni, mounted a guerrilla uprising against the Romans. | |
0051 CE | The final defeat Caratacus came at the hands of the Roman governor, Ostorious Scapula. Caratacus was not killed in the battle and managed to escape to the land of the Brigantes in northern Britain. However, Cartimandua, the Queen of the Brigantes, was in league with the Romans and handed Caratacus over to them. | |
0051 CE | The captured Briton Caractacus was taken to Rome where he was later pardoned by Claudius. The date of his death is unknown. | |
