He was named after his Father´s exploits in Britain around 50 AD. The sudden death of Britannicus shortly before his fourteenth birthday is reported by all extant sources as being the result of poisoning on Nero&#039;s orders; as Claudius&#039; biological son, he represented a threat to Nero&#039;s claim to the throne.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1585672[/ATTACH] </p><p>NEXT: Claudius[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
