Historical background
BRITTANY - CATUVELLAUNI
(1st century BC)
The Catuvellauni occupied the counties of Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Huntingdonshire and Cambridge with parts of Essex, Oxfordshire and Suffolk. The Catuvellauni seem to have been a small military tribe dependent on the Atrebates and Regni. Cassivellaune was the leader of the Catuvellauni and organized the fight against the Romans in 54 BC. He treated with Caesar, agreed to pay an annual tribute and is cited in the Gallic Wars (V, 11, 18, 19, 20 , 21 and 22).
