To avenge the Roman crimes, Boudicca decided to gather forces of insurrection and wipe out the army of 2,000 people of the empire.

"She was very tall with a frightening look, her fiery eyes, her voice resounding, her hips-length blonde hair, wearing a large gold necklace, always wearing a multicolored long blouse and jacket.

At that time, the Romans occupied the entire area and agreed with the Icenians that King Prasutagus, Boudicca's husband, could still rule the tribe.

However, after his death, the Roman Empire confiscated the Icenian lands, merging them into Britannia province, the name of Great Britain during the Roman invasion.

Boudicca attempted to regain justice for the tribe, but was eventually beaten for "insolent attitudes" and was forced to witness two daughters, Isolda and Siora, being raped by Roman soldiers.

"With the arrogance and arrogance of the Romans, nothing is safe. They will defile the sacred and coerce our virgins. Victory or death, that's what I,

Roman investors, believed to include Seneca, Emperor Nero's teacher and advisor, even demanded repayment of the loans they had issued to the British.

The Icenians soon joined forces with the Trinovantes and other tribes.

The conditions for the uprising were quite favorable.

Quintus Petillius Cerialis, the commander of this legion, marched south quickly to stop warring warriors inciting anger from the tribes.

This subjectivity cost the Roman general high.

Boudicca's fight for revenge then continued to sweep the enemy, with the greatest goal set out to conquer London, the trading center of England in the Roman era.

Meanwhile, General Suetonius hurriedly marched to London to come here before the insurgents.

There are documents written that Emperor Nero even considered withdrawing all troops from Britain upon hearing news of the victories of the "warrior queen".

The decisive battle took place in the West Midlands in the west of central England, with Roman numbers overwhelming.

To increase morale among the men and women in his ranks, Boudicca delivered a passionate speech from the chariot, with two daughters standing by.

However, her insurrection forces had little chance of defeating the regular, well-organized Roman army, with outstanding discipline and combat strength.

Suetonius' army waited silently for the arrival of the British, then launched specially designed Roman javelins tearing apart the enemy ranks, causing tens of thousands of Britons to fall.

"The Romans did not mourn anyone, including women or carrying animals, piling the corpses," wrote the historian Tacitus, adding that Boudicca killed himself with poison when he lost the battle.

However, the Boudicca uprising is still considered to have shook the foundation of the Roman Empire to the core.
