Agrippina the Elder was an influential woman who was convinced her husband was poisoned. If she had let her suspicions show, the emperor could have been in serious trouble. When she went to a feast at the emperor's palace, she refused to eat and drink, causing a scandal. After that, it was only a matter of time before she was "taken care of". Eventually herself and her sons were exiled for going against the emporer, which caused Nero (one of her sons) to kill himself.
