Roman Emperors - DIR Agrippina the Younger (3398 words)
Agrippina the Younger was the daughter of Germanicus Julius Caesar and of Vipsania Agrippina (Agrippina the Elder).
Agrippina attained the long-coveted position of imperial wife, and Claudius was able to keep the daughter of his still popular brother Germanicus from marrying someone else and so legitimating a potential rival with her family connection.
Agrippina was thought to have manipulated her husband so that he adopted Nero just as she had arranged his marriage with Octavia, since it moved her son to the head of the line for succession.
Roman Emperors - DIR Agrippina the Elder (1648 words)
Vipsania Agrippina, always simply Agrippina or Agrippina the Elder, when it is necessary to distinguish her from Agrippina the Younger, was a daughter of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa and of Julia, the daughter and only child of the emperor Augustus.
The first two of her three daughters (Agrippina the Younger and Drusilla) were born during this period, both probably in the territory of the Treveri, near modern Koblenz.
Agrippina's last surviving son, Gaius, survived the purges of Sejanus and Tiberius to become emperor in 37.
