Cunobelinus

Cunobelinus (Common Brittonic: *Cunobelinos, "Dog-Strong"), sometimes anglicized Cunobeline or Cunobelin, was a king in pre-Roman Britain from about AD 9 to about AD 40. He is mentioned in passing by the classical historians Suetonius and Dio Cassius, and many coins bearing his inscription have been found. He controlled a substantial portion of southeastern Britain, including the territories of the Catuvellauni and the Trinovantes, and he was called "King of the Britons" (Britannorum rex) by Suetonius.
