Historical background
BRITTANY - CATUVELLAUNI and TRINOVANTES
(1st century AD)
Cunobeline, king
Cunobeline, who seems to be the son of Tasciovanus and the brother of Epaticcus, is said to have united the two tribes of the Catuvellauni and the Trinovantes. He was a very powerful king and died at the latest in 43, just before the invasion of Brittany by Claudius I (41-54). He had had three sons including Adminius whom he banished around 40 AD. This son appealed to the judgment of Emperor Caligula. His two other sons Caratacus and Togodumnus shared his possessions on his death.
