Herod Agrippa

Wikipedia extract

Marcus Julius Agrippa I, also known as Agrippa I or Herod Agrippa, was a Roman citizen, under the patronage of Antonia Minor, friend of Roman emperors Caligula and Claudius, and the last client king of Judea. He was a grandson of Herod the Great and Mariamne I, and he was the father of Herod Agrippa II, the last king from the Hasmonean branch of the Herodian dynasty. He played crucial roles in Roman politics under Caligula and was a "kingmaker" of Claudius. In return he was rewarded with the kingship of Judea, which brought a brief period of relative independence to Judea and significant influence in the Eastern portion of the Roman Empire.
