[IWANAROCKYEEEAAAA]

she burned tree setlments that had olmost no soldiers buth in her first and final batle she lost cuz she was a politician not a general she joined the peoples buth in battle she needed someone else

[Destin65]

@IWANAROCKYEEEAAAA That is partly true. Yes, at least one of the cities she demolished was simply left to fend for itself. That was London with decision made by Suetonius who wanted to marshal everything together for one final battle to put down the Celts. Colchester had at least 200 troops that were sent by the Governor. They were no match. Along the way Boudica met and crushed the Roman IX Hispania legion, only the cavalry surviving by being able to flee. So she was a bit of a field leader too

[Destin65]

By the way, if anyone knows of any good movie footages of other warrior woman who actually participated in the battles, often fighting on the frontlines, such as was the case with women like Princess Gwenllian ap Cynan of Wales and who is a woman closely associated with Boudica tho they lived a thousand years apart, there's also Queen Cartamandua I believe it's spelled, alive at the same time as Boudica, sold out by Rome and treated the same. Also Queen Zenobia in the Middle East, let me know.

Blue woad dye: worn in battle. The men wore no armor or shirts. Inaccurate: queen without cloak or gold torc that Roman eyewitnesses put her in. Romans did not recognize prerogatives

of Celtic women. They made error of flogging a tribal queen or raping her daughters, and three Roman settlements in Britain burnt to the ground.

[Destin65]

Tacitus and Cassius Dio are the only 2 that wrote about her. Dio would embellish history, Tacitus was more credible. Yet, both describe her in the same fashion. Having long red hair, intelligent, wearing a gold torc around her neck, often a clock with brooch and otherwise only a tunic. What's a tunic? Sort of a long shirt, often without sleeves. Many variations of tunics. What's Charlotte Comer wearing in the video? A 2 peice tunic. By the way, Boudica never wore pants or a dress.

I love Queen Boudicca! she is my hero!

[irishoforiel]

What does the Koran have to do with Celtic British history anyway?Also if the Romans had me publicly flogged and my daughters gang-raped I'd be pissed off too!

Long live the Celts! Erin go bragh

Boudicca led the Iceni tribes in Norfolk against the Romans, In the second battle she killed herself rather than be captured. The remnants of the Iceni tribes fled west into the swampland Fens ( now Cambridgshire/ S. Lincolnshire). Cumbraic was spoken from the Firth of the Forth to S. England until as late as 600AD by all these tribes. The culture lingered longer in the hills, hence the names "Penrith" in Cumbria & the peak "Pen-Y-Ghent" in Yorkshire for instance.

[ALBIONTYKE]

These people were not Celts as the Celt's were central European decent. These people descended from what is now Iberia. They were not even Indo-European. At the start of the last Ice Age they retreated to the Basque shelter, all the other tribes migrated east, until the Ice Age receded. 90% + of British people are of Iberian origin & did not all run west as some think. The Saxons invaded, ruled & brought the dominant Germanic language with them, but represented max 10% dna in what is now England

[Destin65]

@sonofherne Well, true, I suppose it was assimilation after the genocide. The genocide to which I was referring to was that which happened on Anglesey, which was the home to the druids and culturally very significant to the Celts. Suetonius literally razed it all to the ground so as to attempt to bring the Celts under the boot heel of Rome. Now true, they did not try to kill every last Celt in Britain. So technically it was not a genocide of the entire Celtic peoples. They need their slaves.

[sonofherne]

@Destin65 .There was no genocide.After the hostilities ceased the Britons became Romanised.The Romans weren't there to replace them, they were there to rule them. The druids were wiped out because they were a strong political force.People went on worshopping their own gods such as Nodens and Sulis,sometimes with just a little Roman tag such as Neptune or Minerva added behind their names.

[sonofherne]

@tortue2008 .You do know that the term celts wasn't used till the 1700's for people in the British Isles/Ireland? And that the Romans did not ever call these people 'celts'?

[sonofherne]

@bookkeeper57 .The first peoples of Britain crossed over from mainland Europe about 10,000 years ago, using a now vanished land bridge. Neolithic farmers arrived by sea a few thousand years later. These are the ancestors of a huge majority of British people. They left no name, they had no writing. By their skull shapes/culture sometimes they are referred to as 'Iberians'. Beaker people were another group of the later bronze age.

[sonofherne]

@bookkeeper57 .Um, celts were a central European people opf the Iron Age. The people of the British isles had a celtic culture but didn't originate from central Europe but mainly from the west.. They never called themselves celts, nor did the Romans. Stonehenge is a neolithic annd bronze age monument.
