Welcome back in time to the historical world of the British Iceni Tribe!
Boudica was a British Celtic warrior queen who led a revolt against Roman occupation. Her date and place of birth are unknown and it's believed she died in 60 or 61 CE. An alternative British spelling is Boudica, the Welsh call her Buddug, and she is sometimes known by a Latinization of her name, Boadicea or Boadacaea. Although her real name is unknown...Boudica derives from bouda, the ancient British word for victory.
Boudica was the wife of Prasutagus, who was head of the Iceni tribe in East England, in what is now Norfolk and Suffolk, in 43 CE, when the Romans invaded Britain, and most of the Celtic tribes were forced to submit. However, the Romans allowed two Celtic kings to retain some of their traditional power. One of these two was Prasutagus.
In 47, the Romans forced the Iceni to disarm, creating resentment. Prasutagus had been given a grant by the Romans, but the Romans then redefined this as a loan. When Prasutagus died in 60 CE, he left his kingdom to his two daughters and jointly to Emperor Nero to settle this debt. The Romans arrived to collect, but instead of settling for half the kingdom, they seized control of all of it. According to Tacitus, to humiliate the former rulers, the Romans beat Boudica publicly, raped her two daughters, seized the wealth of many Iceni, and sold much of the royal family into enslavement.
Led by Boudica, about 100,000 British attacked Camulodunum (now Colchester), where the Romans had their main center of rule. With Suetonius and most of the Roman forces away, Camulodunum was not well-defended, and the Romans were driven out. The Procurator Decianus was forced to flee. Boudica's army burned Camulodunum to the ground; only the Roman Temple was left.
Boudica's army turned to the largest city in the British Isles, Londinium (London). Suetonius strategically abandoned the city, and Boudica's army burned Londinium and massacred the 25,000 inhabitants who had not fled. Archaeological evidence of a layer of burned ash shows the extent of this destruction.
Boudica fought one more battle, though its precise location is unknown. Boudica's army attacked uphill, and, exhausted and hungry, was easily routed by the Romans to rout. Roman troops—numbering just 1,200—defeated Boudica's army of 100,000, killing 80,000 while suffering only 400 casualties.
What happened to Boudica is uncertain. She may have returned to her home territory and taken poison to avoid Roman capture. As a result of the rebellion, the Romans strengthened their military presence in Britain but also lessened the oppressiveness of their rule.
Boudica's story was nearly forgotten until Tacitus' work "Annals" was rediscovered in 1360. Her story became popular during the reign of another English queen who headed an army against foreign invasion, Queen Elizabeth I.
Today, Boudica is considered a national heroine in Great Briton, and she is seen as a universal symbol of the human desire for freedom and justice.
