Nero went to live at the court of the previous emperor, Claudius, when he was five. He was the son (from a previous marriage) of Agrippina the younger, who became the third wife of Claudius.

All that is known about Nero's early life is that his mother maneuvered to make Nero the next emperor instead of Britannicus, the son of Claudius from his third marriage, who was younger than Nero. Agrippina persuaded Claudius to adopt Nero and set out to isolate Britannicus from his father and from the succession, to pave the way for Nero becoming the next emperor. Claudius then regretted having married Agrippina and adopted Nero. He started to favour Britannicus and to pave the way for him to succeed him. he then died suddenly. There were suspicions that Agrippina murdered him.
