Claudius was Agrippina the Younger's uncle; he was the brother of her mother, Julia Livilla. Additionally, Claudius became Agrippina's husband when she married him in 49 AD, making her both his niece and his wife. This marriage was politically motivated, as Agrippina sought to secure her son's position as Claudius's successor.

Why was the Roman Emperor Claudius imprisoned?

Emperor Claudius was not imprisoned. You must have got confused with Tiberius Claudius Narcissus. He was a freedman who was in the inner circle of the court of emperor Claudius. He was imprisoned and executed by Agrippina (the emperor's last wife) soon after the emperor's death. Ancient writer Tacitus said that Agrippina had him executed because he supported Britannicus (the son the emperor had with a previous wife) for the imperial succession against Nero (Agrippina's son) and plotted to bring Agrippina down and, though her her downfall, Nero.

They were responsible for looking after the children and maintaining the household. Their other responsibilities depended on the position of their families.

There is some dispute as to how Claudius died. There are two possible explanations for his death. The most likely was that his third wife, Agrippina, had poisioned him, so that, her son Nero, that Claudius adopted would take over Rome and she could rule Rome through him. The second explanation is that he died of old age. These two explanations have not been confirmed though. :-D
