Boudicca had a sad story of vengeance against the oppressors, she was a woman of honour and a true incredible queen. We don't talk enough about the power and brutality romans did to the people they conquered, to what they did to women. I love Boudicca heritage and story. Cheers from Italy~

Genocide is like that.

[@claudiasaini2782]

@@gingerkid1048 genocide is not a thing you learn in school related to ancient history, at least in my country. More often you listen to this word without giving it faces, voices or bodies so it all passes as a neutral notion you got and...stop it. Genocide is a f awful thing that was common to every colonisers from roman to British to Spain Conquistadores, but you feel a ounce of the impact this has when you dig deeper than what school do for you. I had to go to college to listen to people talking about racial/gender issues, colonisation, capitalism and genocides . KZbin with this creators give us a big source of learning materials and resources to help us.

[@sealyoness]

In school, history is dull and cherry-picked (IMO and experience). The Romans weren't always brutal, though. And a number of commanders wrote about the importance of studying their adversaries. It's perilous but necessary, because sometimes bloodshed isn't the right way to conquer a people.

[@claudiasaini2782]

@@sealyoness my experience was pretty similar to yours.

[@erraticonteuse]

@@sealyoness Somewhat ironic, given that it was the Emperor Claudius who ordered the conquest of Britain, but he was actually a pretty compassionate guy if it was up to him personally. There was a Celtic rebel king before Boudicca named Caratacus who was eventually captured and brought out at the end of a Triumph (a Roman victory parade). Normally captives of war at the end of Triumphs would beg for their lives as one final humiliation before being killed. But not Caratacus- he basically said "I was a king, was I not supposed to fight just because you wanted my land? Also, you're welcome for the glorious victory. After all, if I had just rolled over, this wouldn't mean anything, now would it?" Claudius, for his part was like, "I like your style, have a villa."

One of my favourite books is about Boudicca: The Eagle and The Raven by Pauline Gedge. It’s a huge, sweeping work of fiction very well-researched and so beautifully written.

[@elvacoburg1279]

The thing that I have noticed is that any woman who opposed the Romans, at least according to the Roman historians, died by poisoning themselves, Boudica and Cleopatra being the most well known example. Given that the Romans considered death by poison to be a dishonourable death, I think that this was yet another way of belittling there enemies. At the same time, I cannot see Boudica surviving for long after that final battle, as if the Romans had heard that she was still alive they would have hunted her down. So the initial tale of her dying from her wounds and being given a queen's burial seems the most likely. Though there is always the possibility that such a story was created by the Celts to allow Boudica to disappear. The fate of her daughters is another thing that is totally open, as far as I am aware, we do not even know how old they were at the time of the rebellion or even their names. So were they old enough to fight along side their mother or were they just children? Did they survive the final battle or not?

I always remember Boudica's story because there was a representation of her in the TV series Xena Warrior Princess, though the character was called by another name she was known by which is Boadicea. Also a favorite Enya song of mine is called Boadicea as well. She's along the lines of Joan Of Arc and Cleopatra. A strong woman fighting for her people against arrogance and tyranny. Gotta fight fire with fire. She may not have won her fight but it's the Roman Empire that ultimately lost the war.

The Romans could exaggerate all they want, but the bone history tells you that the Celt women got more to eat, and better. Celtic men probably needed robust women in the tribe, because a simpering little weak girl probably wouldn't be strong enough to last very long in childbirth, or in a fight, or be willing to whap someone on the head when he wasn't being respectful - to either the women or other tribe members.

When I heard you mention the "piercing eyes" of Boudica I immediately thought about how her eyes were likely blue or grey (or possibly green - I know green eyes developed relatively late in history so maybe they didn't exist yet but if they did, modern day Ireland and Britain would be the first place they developed). Anyways, blue, grey, green and sometimes hazel tend to be light in appearance and are sometimes described as colder and "spooky" in comparison to the brown eyes that the Romans would have been accustomed to, which tend to have a warmer, softer, kinder look. I have definitely heard people describe those very light blue eyes as "kinda creepy, like they're looking straight into my soul" which would be the same sentiment as "piercing".

Though I don’t have the Roman text describing her, there are sadly numerous written accounts by Roman men that refer to (publicly) vocal women as having “barking” or “man-woman” voices. It’s likely her voice being called “harsh” was meant by the Roman author less as an accurate description, and more as a contextual insult. Romans reading the account would have understood he meant she spoke up in public spaces on equal terms with men present, an extremely un-feminine/barbaric practice in their eyes.

I've been wanting to buy a book Queen Boudica herself this video motivated me to do so

[@PhoenixLyon]

Great video! One of my favorite books is 'Ravens of Avalon ' by Diana Paxson and Marion Zimmer Bradley. It's the story of Boudica's uprising, and is fiction based in fact; the battles, the villages and such are historical fact, the interchanges between characters, the day to day minutiae, naturally, is the fictional part. It's part of Bradley's 'Mists of Avalon' series, and probably my favorite book within that series. When Boudica's army sacked Londinium, Bradley puts the Romans as attacking and destroying the Druids' home. Rome did hate and fear the Druids, as they were the ones that travelled the country, taking news to the various tribes, and spreading word of Boudica's uprising. One of the names for the battle goddess was Morrigan, the battle Raven, hence, the book's title. In the appendix, there are listed sites of various places in the book, including where Boudica's last battle took place, (or as close as can be determined) and the Chalice Well, and Milk Spring. At the beginning of the book is a list of characters, which denotes historical characters from fictional ones. Really a great read, and a lot of research went into it.✌😸
