In 60/61 AD turmoil seized southern Britain. A massive anti-Roman revolt reared its ugly head in East Anglia, as tens of thousands of Britons attempted to evict the recently-arrived Romans from the island by the spear. At its head was one of the most famous figures in the whole of British history, Boudica.

    Thank you Odyssey. Not sure it's the right niche but if anyone's very interested in Brythonic warfare and the way the Romans adapted to deal with it I strongly recommend Schwerpunkt's recent video on the topic. Keep up with the amazing work
  • @MythicTales993
    Kudos to you for producing such a high-quality and insightful video!
  • @Auxius.
    Now I could be speculating, but I think the men would fight harder knowing their families will get it if they fall 27:05

    I love this. I learned about her in a book called Warrior Women. I enjoyed it immensely. Thank you for this program.
  • @adelehorn2055
    I would take any Roman account with a pinch of salt. No way they would report accurately on the happenings of a people they deemed lesser than
  • @jennklein1917
    No one beat the Roman invasion, good go tho, Boudicca
  • @S2hahaaS2
    "Boudica" didn't revolt, The "Romans" revolted against her rule, The Most High chose "Boudika" to govern the people, "Celtic word Booda/Buddha"
  • @kp6215
    Romans exaggeration is well known.
  • @neggit2063
    Sure love hearing about our European history from a British born Indian woman.
  • @Itsnotapet
    All this proves is Boudica should have married Mel Gibson...
  • @kp6215
    130 years later couldn't rely on any man to write truth.
  • @brucenlong
    Is it just me or does the painting of Boudica at the end of the video look like Maya Rudolph from SNL.
  • @Tribune123
    There is so little validity to any of this that most books related to it should reside in the fiction section of libraries. Like Arminius and Vercingetorix and, possibly, Hannibal, she is increasingly becoming an inflated national hero of almost divine proportions. The truth, like the Iceni, died long ago.

    she thought she could win, she was wrong. she destroyed her home territory instead of taking the fight to rome itself...
