Agrippina the Younger was the only daughter of Agrippina the Elder and Germanicus. When she returned from exile, she was reunited with her son. She flirted with the future emperor, Galba, after her husband died. He wasn't interested, and remained loyal to his wife. Once, in public, his mother-in-law actually slapped Agrippina and reprimanded her. Eventually, she was married to a man named Crispus, who, besides being rich and influential, seemed to have the perfect personality. However, he died, which left Agrippina very rich. She then married Claudius, her uncle, and after he died, became empress. Nero, her son, was too young to rule, so Agrippina took over for him. He resented it, and she was stripped of all power when she was 55.
