Description
Emperor Nero tried to poison his mother Agrippina three times, but she had taken antidotes. He rigged the ceiling over her bed to fall on her, but she was warned. So he had a boat built that would fall apart at sea, hugged her goodbye at Baiae and sent her off on it.
The lead-weighted roof crashed down and missed her. The boat didn't break up, so the crew tried to capsize it. Her maid shouted "I'm Agrippina, save me!" and was clubbed with oars. The real Agrippina swam to shore and sent Nero a message that she was fine. He sent soldiers.
