'''Herod II''' (c27 BCE - 33 AD) was a member of the [[:Category:Herodians (subject)|Herodian dynasty]], the son of [[:Category:Herod the Great (subject)|Herod the Great]] and his wife [[:Category:Mariamne II (subject)|Mariamne II]].
==Overview==
Herod II was born from the marriage of [[:Category:Herod the Great (subject)|Herod]] with [[Mariamne II (subject)|Mariamne II]], who was the daughter of the High Priest [[:Category:Simon Boethus (subject)|Simon Boethus]].
Around 1/2 CE Herod II married his niece [[:Category:Herodias (subject)|Herodias]]. For some time it seemed that Herod II could inherit [[:Category:Herod the Great (subject)|Herod the Great]]'s heritage, or a significant portion of it. The alleged involvement of his mother in [[:Category:Antipater II (subject)|Antipater II]]'s poison plot against [[:Category:Herod the Great (subject)|Herod the Great]] led to his being left out. Herod II survived the purges as he and Herodias lived in Rome as private citizens; around 14 CE they had a daughter [[:Category:Salome (subject)|Salome]].
In 34 CE, Herodias divorced from Herod II and married his half-brother, [[:Category:Herod Antipas (subject)|Herod Antipas]], who had been made tetrarch of Galilee and Perea.
