A Roman province on the northwestern edge of the empire, Britain was a persistent source of instability, staging revolts that troubled the reigns of both Carinus and Maximian, the latter unable to suppress it due to a British fleet controlling the Channel. The province later became the launchpad for Constantine's rise to power, when he joined his father Constantius Chlorus on campaign against the Picts in 305. After Constantius died at York, his troops acclaimed Constantine emperor on British soil, setting in motion one of the most consequential successions in Roman history.
