AGRIPPINA,

named Julia, who mar∣ried, at her second Marriage, the Emperour Claudius, who was her Uncle; but she soon after poison'd him with what she put into Mushrooms, which afterwards at Rome were called The Food of the Gods. Britannicus, who was Claudius's Son by his first Marriage, ought to have succeeded him in the Empire; but Agrippina advanc'd her Son Nero to it, contrary to his Right, that she herself might reign un∣der the Name of her Son. She had him by Domitius Aeneobarbus her first Husband, and Claudius adopted him into his Family, which opened a way for his Accession to the Sove∣reign Dignity. But this ambitious Princess was well rewarded for it, for Nero caused her to be slain by Anicetus, and, for compleating her Infamy, order'd that the Day of her Nati∣vity, should be reckon'd among the unfortu∣nate Days.
