Caractacus

Caractacus, a king of the Britons, for nine years (43-50 A.D.) warred gallantly against the Roman invaders, but at length was completely overthrown by Ostorius in a battle near the border of South Wales. His wife and daughters fell into the hands of the victors, and his brothers surrendered. Caractacus himself fled to Cartismandua, queen of the Brigantes, who delivered him up. He was carried to Rome, 51 A.D., and exhibited in a triumphal procession by the Emperor Claudius, who was greatly impressed by his dauntless bearing and language. According to tradition he died at Rome about 54 A.D., but there is absolutely no ground for supposing that the Claudia of St Paul's epistle (2 Tim. iv. 21) was his daughter, and introduced Christianity from Italy to Britain.
