Boadicea

[DawidDVD]

Xena rulez xD 5/5 for vid but i like more HD than AMV

[looley1976]

Boudicca was queen of The Iceni Tribe, which lived where i live now. As an East Anglian i'm proud of her and our history.

[casca82]

whats the name of the song

[bookkeeper57]

Real life warrior queen Boudicca was the inspiration for Xena, who lived in every century from 500BC-100AD, if you can't count. Boudicca didn't look like this. The long red hair, blue face paint and Celtic jewelry are accurate: not the circus outfit.

[KatComixProductions]

To be more accurate for the time frame of Queen Boudicca's life, she faced off against Emperor Nero's Legions. The invasion of Britain was in 47CE (AD) and they estimate her death some time after the battle that cost her everything. They estimate that to be 61CE (AD).

[mkarnerfors]

Trying to accuse Xena of historical accuracy is akin to trying accusing the church of being scientific. :D

[redrosedam]

thats zena not boudicca you stupid head

dont you know anything

[hercxenafan]

Wow stupid head, I see your vocabulary is quite extensive and intillectual... Yes that is Boadicea from the Xena show which is why I made the video about her.

[wbfe]

i dont care if ur italian u had an empire we had a bigger and better :)

[Ouchthathurtslol]

Actually the late British empire had the largest empire in the world, at its peak. Then the Mongols, then the Russians.

[NelSonOfABitch]

Xena? LOL. I hate this shit.

[TomMarshall92]

this is great

[2good4Utube]

Why does Xena look so strange at her at the end of the Clip?

[se18doug]

xena and boadicea? WHAT A LOAD OF BOLLOCKS!!

[bookkeeper57]

Boadicea (aka: Boudicca) was the real life inspiration for Zena, Warrior Princess. She was 1st century British Celt: she didn't sound

like a boarding school grad as she did in this episode, and she lived and died in her own century; unlike Zena.

[chukurulugai]

What about Boadicea's little mouse "uncle choochoo" Her first anglo saxon pet.

[JamTheMan4Chelsea]

i am honestly glad as an englishman, that rome took over britain,. No englishman has reason to be shamed for these are the celts. The real english anglo saxons who descend from Germany game years later. For me Rome pushed out the celts , civilized it preparing britain for the english arrival.

[zaohad1]

Boadiceas last battle site has been lost.

Apparently the numerically superior brits were totally slaughtered by the well trained disciplined romans

The Romans carried right on through and destroyed the baggage train killing men women and children looting and smashing.

Anyone hoping to find this site so many years later might hope to find a LOT of smashed pottery of that era from the baggage train.

Prob is it could be 6 feet underground by now.

You need a metal detector that detects pottery.

[CannProof]

or metal.. from the armors and swords and shit

[Arrada101]

whats to be proud of?!

[aeonflux67]

So you are proud because you now have the excuse you been looking for to support a proper football team at world cup time = Germany. Instead of that bunch of over paid, under talented one footed penalty shy boozers called INGERLAND!!! lol

[Gazzara5]

I'm of Italian ancestry. To me, her story has a happy ending.

[AngloSaxonBastart]

This is the beginning of England as a nation for me. 60 AD.

[bookkeeper57]

Every depiction of Boadicea in film makes her look like a circus acrobat: she was a Celtic queen who went to war. She was described by Roman eye witnesses: tall, red hair to her hips, gold torc around her neck, and fierce.

She wore a long belted tunic, adapted for riding, and a heavy animal skin cloak. She

drove a light chariot and handled a spear.

[bookkeeper57]

I have to wonder why Xena appears in every century in antiquity: Boadicea (aka Boudica) was a real life warrior queen who was the inspiration for Xena and other female warriors.

[AdelaideOrderKnights]

The thing I don't like about Xena is, that all the men in this series are weak cowards compared to the women...it's completely absurd.

[shawry86]

the classical amazon myths were the inspiration for xena im guessing not boudica

[bookkeeper57]

Actually the real life Boudicca was the inspiration for this TV character Xena; who has lived in every century 500BC thru 100AD. She's been a contemporary of Hercules, and Boudicca's alike; if you can't count. Boudicca had long red hair, blue face paint and Celtic jewelry: but she never dressed like that.

[dewz101]

by the way whats this song called?

[Kitsune026]

This is Boadicea by Enya.

[dewz101]

did bodecia welsh? Because im welsh and we call her Byddig (a welsh name)

[ParisInk]

the later brits pushed the celts into wales. No matter how its spelled...She's the same Heroine!

[hollywoodwerewolf]

"For a woman from Greece you have mastered my Celtic tongue," said Boudiccea.

"Yeah, well...I have Language Scrolls on Tape. I listen to them when I travel," Xena responded.

"She's a mistress of mastering tongues," Gabrielle piped in deliriously.

[gv1955]

hilarious... so funny...

[elvino81]

The kind of song that makes you want to fight to the death against all tyrants

[brightlights456X]

i didnt know she met xena

[mychemicalrelapse]

i hope your refering to the context of the show and not to the real life bouddica

[hercxenafan]

LOL me too

[gezza999]

Why is it that they have a statue of Boodica in London..capital of England...she was a Celtic Queen who ruled hundreds of years before the coming of the Anglo Saxons. Indeed..if she had been born later then she would have been a sworn enemy of the invading Sais os Saxons. If she had fought the Saxons then she would have been forced back to the west..ending up fighting for the Celtic Welsh...so please move her statue down to Cardiff so she can be admired by decendents of her own kind

[AngleMerc]

You ignorant fool!!!

Firstly-Nobody before the 18th century called themselves celts in Britain.Contrary to popular belief,no ancient writer ever called the bronze/iron age tribes of Britain celts.Celticism is largely a product of the 18th century romantic movement and Irish republicism.

Secondly-The Anglo-Saxon wipeout myth has been totally disproven by modern genetic research.The invading Germanic tribes did not wipeout or push west the remaining Romano-Brits.

Get your facts right.

[AngleMerc]

The pre-Roman tribes of Britain spent more time fighting each other than they did anyone else.There is no evidence whatsoever to suggest that the pre-Roman tribes of Britain{those who inhabited the south east}have any relation to the present day Welsh.Caesar stated that the southern tribes of the British Isles, had more in common with the people of Gaul, than they did with the rest of the British tribes.

Boudiccas statue belongs where she lived;The south east of Britain!

[hetrodoxly]

There's no evidence to support what you claim? recent DNA research shows the majority of English people originate from hunter-gatherers who crossed the land bridge from mainland Europe to think an invading force of celts killed off all the indigenous people is erroneous, "the Icine" were descended from these hunter-gatherers, it's probable many of these tribes spoke different languages some being Germanic.

[gezza999]

Why do they have a statue of Queen Bouddica in London..the capital of England..she was a Celtic Queen who ruled hundreds of years before the coming of the Anglo Saxons...if she had been born later then she would have fought against the Saxon..or English invaders..and would have been forced westward..ending up fighting for the Celtic Welsh againt the heathern Sais...please move her statue to Cardiff so that she may be remembered amongst her own kind

[katrina3b]

IM PROUD TO BE A DIRECT DECENDANT OF BOUDICCA, SHE WAS MY 63RD GREAT GRANDMOTHER, I DECENT FROM HER DAUGHTER JULIA AND FROM HER SON COLE KING OF COLCHEST..

She was huge of frame, terrifying of aspect, and with a harsh voice. A great mass of bright red hair fell to her knees: she wore a twisted torc, and a tunic of many colours, over which was a thick mantle, fastened by a brooch. Now she grasped a spear, to strike fear into all who watched her." Dio Cassius

[Saphiregun]

awesome xD

[Romangladius]

230000 Iceni against 10000 Romans. Iceni's casualties: 80000, Roman casualties: 400. If these are the numbers, Celts were useless warriors. It's impossible to lose a battle having odds 23:1. At Alesia Celts had odds 6:1, but Romans defeated them. You british say they were heroes. If a man fights against 23 men and he wins, is he the hero, or the other 23?. British aviators who fought the battle of England during the ww2 were heroes, not Britons. Useless they were!

[GreddyTurboMX5]

You are an idiot.

[KRphotography]

You are right my friend. Very right.

Hail Rama!

[SylentHeart]

At Alesia the romans starved vercingetorix's ppl for several months before. and no, they werent defeated. The Prince (Vercingetorix) gave himself up to the romans to save the children who were starving. get ur history right.

[Kenshiroit]

I think you should read or see one of the many documentaries here on youtube about Boudiccas end.

[TomMarshall92]

ive never heard of the battle of england ive only heard of the battle of britain who has heard of the battle of england ne 1?

[shawry86]

briton back then was england and parts of wales

[bestbrit]

iceni was an english native tribe thousands of years ago when the romans invaded us. boadecia is a warrior who tried to defend her country when her husband died. theres a statue of her opposite Big Ben.

[fabiojoseph]

Boadicea or Boudicca? In italian it's Budicca queen of Iceni.

[Loveeyouu123]

it's not a movie it's a serie called xena (the warrior princess)

[amyxyz]

This is fab hercxenafan

[Riku1135]

this is one of enyas truly groungbreaking songs

millions know it by heart,

its concidered to be one of her better songs,

yet it has no words/lyrics

it shows how unique she is from the rest of the music community

[eclecticfangrrl]

Fabulous video! I've loved this piece of music for years and JW-L made a great warrior queen! Thanks for putting hte 2 together.

[maxparcells]

boadicea was sampled in "Mario Winans" 2005-2006 song "I Don't wanna know"

[PaintedSilence]

Boadicea was a queen of the Brythonic Celtic Iceni people of Norfolk in Eastern England who led a major uprising of the tribes against the occupying forces of the Roman Empire. I don't think she was a 'warlord'

[hercxenafan]

Okay thank you for your opinion but she was a "Warlord" You should read more about her.

[PaintedSilence]

i thought i warlord was bad though, sorry if i offended you or anything

[hercxenafan]

No offense taken, Women Warlord were strong, it was good. lol

[XenaAmazon]

2 of my favorite warlords together :)

[PaintedSilence]

I don't think boadicea was a 'warlord'

[trunksGav]

loved series 3.. best ever.. but ceasar shunt have been in this or something.. cos.. him and boadicea were around in different areas.. they got histoery wrong

[tsunamimom]

Yes, if they featured Julius Caesar, they were out by about 160 years - he was around 100BC and Boudicca was around 60AD which was the Emperor Nero's reign.

[xxageminiangelxx]

Great Job!! -claps and cheers-
