Boudicca, British Celtic Queen

I am Boudicca, a British Celtic Queen. I live in the year 62 AD. I am a Celtic Queen of ancient Britian. I was married to Prastagus and we ruled over the Iceni, the tribe ruling East Anglia but we were under Roman authority. The Romans feel that Celtic women are a threat. I led men into battle and I am a fearless Warrior Princes and the Romans have no courage. They are cowards. I hate that my people had to suffer heavy taxes imposed on them by Emperor Nero. Nero is my enemy. Life was good until Prastagus died. Our dominions were annexed. I decided to take on Nero. I didn't fear him. South Britian armies joined me in the battle and I fearlessly led them into battle. Nero was Satan himself. Some tribes remained loyal to Roman but we took them on in battle.

The Roman Governor General Seutonious Paulinas and his troops were stationed in Anglesey and North Wales. My troops and I burned their Roman municipalities to the ground while they were gone. We had defeated Paulinas. I know that we over stepped our bounds but I wasn't going to bow them to the Romans. I am a Celtic Queen. I rule. The Romans marched into London and a bloody battle was fought. I was helpless. I knew that the Romans would want revenge. I was publicly flogged and my daughters were repeatedly raped by the Romans. The flogging was painful but I could handle that. My daughters being raped was more then I could bare. If the Romans would have left us alone, I would never have went into battle against them. I am a defeated woman. I ended my own life drinking out of a poisoned chalice. I wasn't about to be a prisoner of the Romans. The proud warrior Queen is no more.

Boudicca is believed to be buried under Platform 10 ao London King's Cross Station. No one knows for sure. I love reading and writing about the Celtic women.
