I tried to find information about queen Boudica who fought the Romans in England. Several good links, but I found this link about 7 famous women warriors. So, find your own Boudica links. ;-)

She fought them in Britain (no England at the time). :^) Thanks to her own pathological self-centeredness, she goaded and nagged her entire tribe into annihilation. Brilliant leadership.

I suspect that the bodies of the dead Iceni (survivors were sent off to slavery throughout the Roman Empire) and other tribal participants were piled up and burned, and the charred bone fragments and potentially 100s of 1000s of teeth are under a field somewhere along the old Watling Street. If so, DNA studies could turn up a lot of info, a uniquely detailed profile of early Roman Britain.

Regardless, Merry Christmas!

FR is probably planet Earth's hottest single source for all your Boudicca needs:
