BOEDICEA

QUEEN OF CELTS

We have two very nice, caring and delicious ladies in our community who are both excellent business women,   working hard to sponsor, guide and educate their friends and teams to make success on internet opportunities, affiliations and business programs.

Inspired by those two ladies for their enormous work and their contribution to make success and share it with their friends I share today’s article to you all of you.

BOEDICEA

QUEEN OF CELTS

The Greatest of British Heroines

"She was huge of frame, terrifying of aspect, and with a harsh voice. A great mass of bright red hair fell to her knees: She wore a great twisted golden necklace, and a tunic of many colors, over which was a thick mantle, fastened by a brooch. Now she grasped a spear, to strike fear into all who watched her . . .. "

—Dio Cassius (Webster, 54)


Statue of Boadicea by Thomas Thornycroft
clich above for an nice instrumental Enya song

Written histories of Boadicea, and of early Britain in general, are found in two classical manuscripts, which were most likely derived from the same original source

The historian Tacitus wrote his history only fifty years after the events of A.D. 60, and it was said that his father-in-law Agricola was able to give an eyewitness account of the rebellion.

Dio Cassius also gave his account of the events. Although both are biased accounts, they provide the basic chronological framework of early Roman Britain.

Attempts to turn to archaeological discoveries to help pinpoint the exact events has been unsuccessful, since much of the data was destroyed during pillaging and a significant amount of the land has never been excavated due to a lack of funds, and so information is limited.

Between AD 61 and AD 63 Boadicea led her Iceni people to a glorious war against the Romans. The Iceni Celts had submitted their kingdom in East Anglia to the conquering Romans and the rule of Emperor Claudius in AD 43. In AD 61, Prasutagus, Boadicea's husband and King of the Iceni died. A dispute followed during which Boadicea, was publicly beaten by the soldiers of the emperor, and her two daughters raped.

The Iceni were insulted and rose in revolt led by their queen Boadicea. So successful was the uprising that the Romans were almost defeated. Unfortunately for the Iceni and their allies, the military skill of the Roman army finally led to the crushing of the rebellion. After the revolt, Roman rule was re-established. For almost two glorious years, Boadicea pillaged the Roman settlements. She remains to this day, the greatest of the heroines of Britain.

In the Irish Mythology Fionnuala of Fionn Ghuallainn the "fai-shouldered" was daughter of king Lir of the Tuatha de Danann. In the myths and legends she was changed (metamorphosis) to a swan and cursed by her stepmother Aoife. Finnualla wandered teh lakes, the rivers and the whole green Eire with her brothers for 900 years.

Bonjour Georgios,

How lovely.

Three Celtic heroines together.

I'm glad that they aren't all frightening and brandishing spears!

I love both of these ladies, Fionnuala & Dee, and have business dealings with them both. They are a pleasure to work and communicate with.

Thank you for featuring them.

Angel cuddles,

Sarah
