Notities over Tiberius Claudius Ceasar Brittanicus

Keizer van Rome van 41 to 45. Modern English translation of the above passage, as given in Geoffey
of Monmouth, The History of the Kings of Britain, trans. Lewis Thorpe (London: 1966), p. 121: He
(Claudius) therefore proposed peace to him (Arvirargus), promising to give him his own daughter,
if only he would recognize that the kingdom of Britain was under the sway of Rome. His nobles
persuaded Arvirargus to abandon his plans for battle and to accept the proposals of Claudius.
Their argument was that it could be no disgrace for him to submit to the Romans, since they were
the acknowledged overlords of the whole world. Arvirargus was swayed by these arguments and by
others of a similar nature. He accepted their advice and submitted to Claudius. Claudius soon
sent to Rome for his daughter. With the help of Arvirargus he subdued the Orkneys and the other
islands in that neighbourhood. At the end of that winter the messengers returned with Claudius'
daughter and handed her over to her father. The girl's name was Genvissa (= Genuissa). Her beauty
was such that everyone who saw her was filled with admiration.
