Son of King Cunobelin of the Catuvellauni tribal confederation, Karatakos fought for nine years against the Romans with little success, eventually fleeing to the tribes in Wales, where he was defeated decisively. Finally he entered Northern Britain, where was handed over to the Romans. Taken to Rome, Karatakos was allowed to live by the Emperor Claudius and died in Italy. Tradition states he converted to Christianity when his wife did, but there is nothing known of this as definite. Probably more notable is the matter that he was allowed to live once captured.

"History": "The story of how Marcus Claudius Marcellus killed a Gallic leader at Clastidium (222 BC) is typical of such encounters. Advancing with a smallish army, Marcellus met a combined force of Insubrian Gauls and Gaesatae at Clastidium. The Gallic army advanced with the usual rush and terrifying cries, and their king, Britomartos, picking out Marcellus by means of his badges of rank, made for him, shouting a challenge and brandishing his spear. Britomartos was an outstanding figure not only for his size but also for his adornments; for he was resplendent in bright colours and his armour shone with gold and silver. This armour, thought Marcellus, would be a fitting offering to the gods. He charged the Gaul, pierced his bright breastplate and cast him to the ground. It was an easy task to kill Britomartos and strip him of his armour."

"History": "Brennus is the name which the Roman historians give to the famous leader of the Gauls who took Rome in the time of Camillus. According to Geoffrey, the brothers invaded Gaul and sacked Rome in 390 B.C., 'proving' that Britons had conquered Rome, the greatest civilization in the world, long before Rome conquered the Britons. We know from many ancient sources which predate Geoffrey that Rome was indeed sacked, but in 387 not 390, and that the raid was led by a man named Brennos (which was latinized to Brennus), but he and his invading horde were Gallic Senones, not British. In this episode several features of Geoffrey's editing method can be seen: he modified the historical Brennus/Brennos, created the brother Belinus, borrowed the Gallic invasion, but omitted the parts where the Celts seemed weak or foolish. His technique is both additive and subtractive. Like the tale of Trojan origin, the story of the sack of Rome is not pure fabrication; it is a creative rearrangement of the available facts, with details added as necessary. By virtue of their historical association, Beli and Bran are often muddled with the earlier brothers Belinus and Brennus (the sons of Porrex) who contended for power in northern Britain in around 390 BC, and were regarded as gods in old Celtic tradition."

"History":"Xenophon (c. 430 B. C. to c. 355 B. C.) was a Greek soldier and (later) historian who was born in Athens of an oligarch family and was a student of Socrates during his youth. In 401 B. C., Xenophon joined an army of Greek mercenaries lead by Clearchus and four other generals who were aiding Cyrus the Younger in his military campaign against his brother, King Artaxerxes II. He initially went along as a civilian observer and guest of his friend Proxenus who was one of the five generals. Unfortunately for the Greeks, Cyrus was killed in the Battle of Cunaxa in 401 B. C. and the 10000 Greeks found themselves alone in enemy territory, more than 1000 miles from the nearest Greek colony. In addition, the leaders of the force and a hundred captains were treacherously murdered during a negotiation by the Persian satrap Tissaphernes. On the very night after the assassination of Clearchus, the other generals and captains, Xenophon endeavored to rally the spirits of the surviving officers, successfully, and through the night they reorganized the army as if it had not been decapitated of its leadership. Through the timely intervention of a civilian hanger-on the Greek phalanx met the new day confident and ready to fight again, survive regardless of the odds against doing so. Xenophon was elected one of the new Greek leaders chosen to lead the army in its retreat out of Persia. In a march that lasted five months, traveled over 1500 miles, and overcoming many obstacles (both external and internal), they finally reached the colony of Trapezus (now Trabzon, Turkey) on the Black Sea, and then further found their way by land and sea legs back to the Greek homelands in a journey that took more than a year and a half altogether. As one of the five new Strategoi and most junior at that (having never been a soldier), Xenophon is given the task of commanding the rearmost division, the position that turned out to be the most dangerous during the ԁnabasisԬ or ԍarch Up CountryԮ Xenophon repetitively demonstrated his brilliance and leadership qualities in effecting new organizations of light troops and cavalry to include the tactics of their employment in the protection of the phalanx in countering and overcoming their adversaries along the route of march to a degree that he becomes the acknowledged leader of the entire force even though Cheirisophus was the senior strategoi who commanded the van and all the others strategoi outranked him. The story of the retreat from Cunaxa, which Xenophon himself wrote in the third person (as was the custom of the times), is one of the most famous feats of all time in recorded military history. Xenophon went on to fight and lead troops in numerous battles then later write numerous books on military tactics, organization and command throughout the remainder of his lifetime. Other than the legacy of the Anabasis itself his legacy left to the annals of warfare really took effect when Phillip II of Macedon and his son Alexander the Great (also a stude3nt of Socrates for a time) succeeding him put Xenophon's knowledge of warfighting to work for them and the latter went on to conquer most of the known world at the time."
