 | | I would suggest that if Cartimandua was indeed the living representative of Brigantia, Caratacus was also seeking religious and moral support. | | | The Heroic Age: Brigantia, Cartimandua and Gwenhwyfar, N/B | | | Higham (1987) believes that the massive fortifications at Stanwick were built by Cartimandua and it was occupied only during her reign. |

| | For Cartimandua, friendship with Rome would have meant help, when necessary, against Venutius who was possibly an indigenous tribal leader and who is singled out for comment by Tacitus for his qualities as a warrior. | | | Instead, Cartimandua felt sufficiently confident in her Roman alliance to run the risk of local political ‘fall-out’, and handed the British leader over to Rome. | | | It is possible that the hoard of mainly Trinovantian gold coins, which was found in 1998 in West Yorkshire, represents the whole (or part) of a payment by Caratacus' southem kin to secure his safety. |

| | When Caratacus, after seven years of sporadic raiding from within Wales, was at last defeated in a major battle and made his way into the Pennines to seek an alliance with Cartimandua, queen of the Brigantes, he found that her alliance was still with the Empire: she handed him over in chains. | | | Apart from this, Celtic beliefs relating to the forces of nature were not too different from their own. | | | There are conflicting opinions about the composition of this league of clans, and conflicting evidence from coins; but it seems that a predominantly Celtic aristocracy had imposed itself upon earlier settlers and sought to unite them in a miniature nation. |

| | Queen Cartimandua of the Briganitines is said to have used the hill as her stronghold during the Brigantine Civil War against her ex-husband Venutius. | | | However, no archaeological evidence has been found of this and as the fort was abandoned around 400 BC, it seems unlikely. | | | The Norman castle built on the hill during the 12th century probably wiped away any archaeological traces, if Cartimandua's camp had been there. |

| | Following his domestic dispute and subsequent escapade with the Roman military, Venutius could not remain at the court of Cartimandua and would have been forced to retire to his own lands in the north. | | | Cartimandua continued to rule the Brigantes for a number of years with her own armour-bearer, Vellocatus, as her consort. | | | Following the betrayal of Caratacus, all was not well in Brigantia, and dissentions were being voiced, particularly it would seem, from Venutius, the prince-consort of Cartimandua. |

| | Cartimandua's treachery is then compounded by her adultery with the "squire" of her consort, Venutius. | | | Boudica's rhetoric plays upon the fact that she is a woman, but there is no doubt that she is a queen -- Annals 14.31 after all states that she was the uxor of King Prasutagus. | | | Nor, perhaps, does the dichotomy between Cartimandua the Queen and Boudica the matron work perfectly. |
