Boudica, or Boadicea, queen of the Iceni, led a famous revolt
against Roman rule in Britain in AD 60, sacking London, Colchester
and St Albans and throwing the province into chaos. Although then
defeated by the governor, Suetonius Paulinus, her rebellion sent a
shock wave across the empire. Who was this woman who defied Rome?
Boudica: Iron Age Warrior Queen is an account of what we know about
the real woman, from classical literature, written for the
consumption of readers in Rome, and from the archaeological
evidence. It also traces her extraordinary posthumous career as the
earliest famous woman in British history. Since the Renaissance she
has been seen as harridan, patriot, freedom fighter and feminist,
written about in plays and novels, painted and sculpted, and
recruited to many causes. She remains a tragic, yet inspirational,
figure of unending interest.
