title="Hasmonean">Hasmonean</a> royal house, brother of <a href="/wiki/Herod_the_Great" title="Herod the Great">Herod the Great</a>'s wife <a href="/wiki/Mariamne_I" title="Mariamne I">Mariamne</a>, and grandson of <a href="/wiki/Hyrcanus_II" title="Hyrcanus II">Hyrcanus II</a> and <a href="/wiki/Aristobulus_II" title="Aristobulus II">Aristobulus II</a>. He was a favourite of the people on account of his noble descent and handsome presence, and thus became an object of fear to Herod, who at first sought to ignore him entirely by debarring him from the <a href="/wiki/High_Priest_of_Israel" title="High Priest of Israel">high priesthood</a>. But his mother <a href="/wiki/Alexandra_the_Maccabee" title="Alexandra the Maccabee">Alexandra</a>, through intercession with <a href="/wiki/Cleopatra" title="Cleopatra">Cleopatra</a> and <a href="/wiki/Mark_Antony" title="Mark Antony">Mark Antony</a>, compelled Herod to remove <a href="/wiki/Ananelus" title="Ananelus">Ananelus</a> from the office of high priest and appoint Aristobulus instead.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>To secure himself against danger from Aristobulus, Herod instituted a system of espionage against him and his mother. This surveillance proved so onerous that they sought to gain their freedom by taking refuge with Cleopatra. As told by the Roman Jewish historian <a href="/wiki/Josephus" title="Josephus">Josephus</a>, their plans were betrayed, and the disclosure had the effect of greatly increasing Herod's suspicions against his brother-in-law.
