Boudicca - The Celtic Warrior Queen

Boudicca was an ancient Celtic warrior Queen who lead an army in a rebellion against the Roman Empire. The story of this brave woman’s life has often been reduced to just a few sentences in a textbook, and that’s because there is very little known about her life. There were just two Roman historians; Tacitus and Cassius Dio, who wrote down information about Boudicca. So everything we know about her is skewed from the enemy’s perspective, and both of their versions of the story vary slightly from the other. →Subscribe for new videos four times per week. https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Visit our companion website for more: http://biographics.org Credits: Host - Simon Whistler Author - Shannon Quinn Producer - Jennifer Da Silva Executive Producer - Shell Harris Business inquiries to biographics.email@gmail.com Other Biographics Videos: Eleanor Roosevelt - The First Lady to the World https://youtu.be/MpI6In4fmeo Adolf Hitler - The Rise of a Fanatical Führer https://youtu.be/m1vXAPxPmL8 Source/Further reading: http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic_figures/boudicca.shtml https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9G01vm9MVa4 https://www.history.com/news/who-was-boudica https://www.britannica.com/event/Battle-of-Watling-Street http://www.britannia.com/history/docs/tacitus.html https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1310654/Chariot-queens-grave-unearthed.html https://www.researchgate.net/publication/263242332_Chariots_and_context_New_radiocarbon_dates_from_wetwang_and_the_chronology_of_iron_age_burials_and_brooches_in_East_Yorkshire https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-18674980 https://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofEngland/Boudica/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npwM2touF08 Secondary Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celts https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boudica https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celtic_warfare
