Cassivellaunus

British chieftain

also spelled Cassivelaunus

flourished 1st century BC

powerful British chieftain who was defeated by Julius Caesar (Caesar, Julius) during his second raiding expedition into Britain (54 BC).

Cassivellaunus led his tribe, the Catuvellauni (a Belgic people who lived in modern Hertfordshire), against the Roman invaders, making effective use of guerrilla tactics and chariot warfare. Finally Caesar captured the principal fortified settlement, since identified as a site in present-day Wheathampstead, Hertfordshire. The British leader was granted peace when he agreed to provide hostages and pay an annual tribute to Rome. These promises, however, were probably not meant to be kept, and it appears certain that the tribute was never paid.
