Claudius was murdered by his fourth wife.

Trump had better remain married to his third wife, for more reasons than one.

Claudius' ancestry was actually more distinguished than Augustus'...Augustus was born Gaius Octavius, a plebeian, and became a patrician only by virtue of his adoption, whereas the Claudii had been one of the most distinguished patrician families throughout the history of the Roman Republic. Unfortunately for their reputations, the dominant interpretation of Roman political history was hostile to them and painted several of them as monsters.

Ah, that patrician ancestry could explain why the Praetorian Guard helped Claudius to ascend to the throne. The Praetorian Guard acted in a way that our current ‘Field’ FBI is acting today.
