In AD43, the Romans launched a successful invasion of Britain.
They decisively defeated a huge army of `Britons at a battle on the banks of the river Medway in modern day Kent and the king leading the resistance was killed.

That victory paved the way for the Roman occupation of most of the island of Britannia for the next 400 years.
