VellocatusVellocatus was a 1st century king of the Brigantes tribe of northern Britain. He was originally armour-bearer to Venutius, husband of Cartimandua, the queen of the Brigantes and an ally of Rome. Some time after 51 AD Cartimandua split with Venutius, marrying Vellocatus and elevating him to kingship. Venutius went on to become an important figure in the resistance to Roman occupation. Sources
