The Catuvellauni

The Catuvellauni were a powerful Iron Age Celtic tribe in what is now southeastern England, prominent from around 50 BC to the Roman conquest in AD 43. They controlled important territories and were known for their skilled warriors and strategic hillforts, like the one at Verulamium (modern St Albans). They played a key role in resisting Roman expansion before eventually being subdued. Their influence helped shape early British history and culture, blending Celtic traditions with interactions from neighboring tribes and later the Romans.
