About the Author: Dr.
This book tells how Boudicca raised her people and other tribes in revolt, overran the provincial towns of Camulodunum (Colchester), Londinium (London) and Verulamium (St Albans), destroyed the IX Legion, and nearly took control of the fledgling Roman province, before being finally brought to heel in a pitched battle at Mancetter.
When his widow Boudicca protested, she "was flogged and their daughters raped", sparking one of the most famous rebellions in history.
But 17 years later, when Prasutagus, the king of the Iceni, died, the Romans decided to incorporate his kingdom into the new province.
Having paid tribute to Rome, they continued to be ruled by their own kings.
