Boudicca was a very brave Queen. She was queen of the Iceni trible in East Anglia (near where we live!) in 60AD. The Romans thought that she couldn't take over the land when her husband died. She was furious because the Romans took her land and whipped her and her daughters.
She called her army together and went with them to the Roman capital. She won the first battle, but lost the last battle.
Boudicca had the most people. She had 200,000 people. The Romans had 10,000. She had more, but But the Romans were better fighters. 80,000 of Boudicca's people died.
Legends say that after Boudicca's defeat, she and her daughters poisoned themselves to avoid being captured by Romans.
I like Boudicca because she was very brave.
Wow, this is a great post Elsie. What made you want to research Boudicca? Well done!! Love, Grandad.
