"Claudius had successfully conquered Britain and had added Britain as a province to the Roman Empire. Claudius had sent Pompeius to the Roman Senate to proclaim to the senators, that his father-in-law had conquered Britain. According to Suetonius he died in 47, because he was stabbed to death while in bed with a favorite boyfriend. Cassius Dio states that Roman Empress Valeria Messalina (who was Claudius' third wife and out of her fear, of Pompeius being a rival to Messalina and Claudius’ son Britannicus) ordered his death"

Just a little gay history that I came across. Just goes to show that one should not mess with Messalina. :p:p:p
