Who was Boudica
Boudica was a noble
English woman who lived shortly after the time of Christ. She married the king
of a Celtic tribe and enjoyed all the freedom offered to those in small and
sustainable government clans. In her tribe she was recognized as a leader.
When she saw new
visitors from a far away land coming to her country. She prepared a feast for
them and ran out to greet the foreign visitors who turned out to be Roman
invaders. They grabbed her, tied her up, and whipped her while they killed her
husband and raped her two young daughters, ages 12 and 14-years-old. Her
daughters, according to their customs, were no longer virgins and ineligible
for marriage. This was an attempt to psychologically destroy Queen Boudica and
end her royal line.
Part of her died that
day, but something new was reborn.
The most terrifying creature on this
planet is a parent trying to protect and seek justice for their children.
The Romans messed with
the wrong protective parent. This beautiful mother in her early 30’s challenged
the greatest army on the planet.
She and her daughters became warriors. They learned
to fight, united the tribes of the north, and slaughtered almost 100,000 Romans
and their supporters, nearly bringing this powerful empire to their knees.
The Romans did not
expect their victim to break her silence and unite the clans.
