1. Androgeus ap LLUD-LUD-LLAW - Abt 70 B.C. in Montgomeryshire, Powys, Wales

Androgeus was the eldest son of King Lud and the rightful heir to the British throne. Due to his youth, however,
his uncle Cassibelanus ruled as regent until the nobles crowned him king of the Britons.
Androgeus was given the Duchy of Kent and Trinovantum by his uncle following the death of Lud.
He became a trusted advisor to the king and helped in attacks by the Romans under Julius Caesar.
He sought the help of Caesar against invasions and gave him hostages, including his own son Scaeva,
as proof he is willing to aid him in Britain. Caesar and Androgeus invaded and took over London in the night.
Cassibelanus finally pleaded with Androgeus to surrender Britain to Caesar. He submitted and the island became
a dominion of Rome and Caesar wintered there then left for Gaul in the spring.
Androgeus left with Caesar that spring and never returned.

His brother Tenvantius became king following Cassibelanus's death. Androgeus's son, Scaeva, apparently went with his father,
was dead, or not strong enough to claim the throne of Britain.

"Lludd of the Silver Hand"
He became king upon his father's death around 73 BCE. During his reign,
he became famous for building and repairing towns throughout the kingdom.
Most important of these was Trinovantum where he built massive towers all
around the city. He built up the homes of the peasantry into lavish buildings
comparable to the greatest homes in the world. He arranged massive feasts
for the people and greatly enjoyed the city of Trinovantum. It is because
of this that it was renamed Caerlud, 'City of Lud' in Welsh. That name
became corrupted into Caerlundein until the Romans called it Londinium which
formed the basis for its current name, London.

He had two sons, Androgeus and Tenvantius, neither of whom succeeded him
directly. Lud died and was buried in Trinovantum near a gateway named
Ludgate (Porthlud in Welsh). He was succeeded by his brother Cassibelanus,
who acted as regent for Androgeus.
