In Londinium, Boudicca battled, killing everyone that was around her. All the torches the Iceni held were flaming red, orange, and yellow. Her red hair was whipping in the wind as she fights to make things right for her people. Imagine being a Roman standing there watching behind a house or a big rock. Wouldn’t you be scared? Imagine living in Londinium as this happens. What would you do? Would you save the Romans and join their side or go on Boudicca’s side? She was a warrior that never gave up, and you do not want to get her angry: read more to find out why. Boudicca is important in history because she was the queen of the Iceni tribe (Celts), freed everyone from slavery (Romans made Celts into slaves), and fought for her freedom against …show more content…
in Celtic, Britain. Her mother and father are unknown, but she did have a brother named Ban. Her education is unknown to us today. She did not have any famous works or hold any honors or medals. Boudicca’s husband is Prasutagus. He was the king of the Iceni tribe. Boudicca had two daughters named Tasca and Comorra. They were raped by Romans, and Boudicca was not very happy about that. What caused Boudicca to battle? When Boudicca’s husband died, he left his kingdom to his two daughters and the Roman emperor, Nero.

Boudicca stood up for her and her tribe’s rights even though she was a woman. When the Romans made Celts into slaves, she freed …show more content…
The name Boudicca directly translated into “victory”. It was said on a source of information that Queen Victoria was named after Boudicca. I would say that this is the most interesting fact about Boudicca. Boudicca faced a big obstacle in her lifetime, and it happened to be in the beginning of the battle. Boudicca was physically beaten by the Romans, like I said up in the beginning of the paper. It must have been hard for her to get beaten like that, and I’m sure it wasn’t any better when she heard that her two daughters were raped by the same Empire’s people. Imagine yourself in her place. Wouldn’t it be really hard for you? Would you be brave enough to fight an empire with a small group of Iceni people? For me, that would be an extremely hard decision to battle. Boudicca died at around 60 or 61 A.D. in Brittania. She could have died from two quite possible and terrible reasons. She could have poisoned herself to avoid getting captured by Romans and living her life in terror. This traces back to the first paragraph: she would not let the Romans beat her and capture her in this war. She also could have been killed in battle by being an extremely brave, selfless, loyal, and great
