⚔️ Thusnelda was the daughter of the pro-Roman Cheruscan prince Segestes. In 9 AD, Arminius, Thusnelda's future husband, led a coalition of Germanic tribes that defeated the legions of Publius Quinctilius Varus at the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest. The conflict between the Roman Empire and the Germanic tribes continued after the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, and Arminius Married and impregnated Thusnelda circa 14 AD, likely as a result of a dispute with her pro-Roman father.

In May 15 AD, Thusnelda was captured by Germanicus, who commanded the invasion of Germania. She was pregnant and staying with her father, who had seized her from Arminius at some point. It was Segestes who delivered her to Germanicus, after the latter saved the former by driving off Arminius' forces, who had besieged Segestes.Arminius grieved his loss of Thusnelda deeply and did not marry again.According to Tacitus, Arminius was "driven to frenzy" by the loss of his wife. ⚔️
