^a Herod Antipas (see Lk. 3:1).

^b See Mk. 6:18 and Mt. 14:4.

^c Granddaughter of Herod the Great, daughter of Herod's third son Aristobulus IV, sister of Agrippa I (see Acts 12). After Herod had Aristobulus and his older brother Alexander executed in 7 BCE, he married her off to his fourth son Herod II, her half-uncle. Herod II fell out of the line of succession (see next note), and eventually she divorced him for Herod Antipas, also her half-uncle.

^d Herodias was married to Herod II (a.k.a. Herod Boethus), fourth son of Herod the Great, older half-brother of Herod Archelaus (see Mt. 2:22), Herod Antipas, and Herod Philip (see Lk. 3:1). Herod II was removed from the line of succession after Herod discovered that his mother had been aware of a plot by Herod's eldest son, Antipater III, in 5 BCE, to poison Herod. Mt 14:3 and Mk. 6:17 misattribute Herodias as the wife of Philip (see note Lk. 3:1), which Luke corrects here.
