Cherusci

A German people who occupied the Weser river basin, north of the Harz Forest. In AD 9 Arminius, a chief of the Cherusci, revolted and destroyed a Roman army commanded by Quintilius Varus. Their prestige was wrested from them towards the end of the 1st century AD by their neighbours, the Chatti, and their territory was later occupied by the Saxons.
