It was the site of a major rebellion against Roman rule by Queen Boudicca of the Iceni Britons. They destroyed Colchester, St Albans and London. The rebellion was crushed by Roman Legions rushed to the area in a spectacular battle. The Romans were severely outnumbered but won the day with superior tactics. Since the Romans virtually destroyed all the local tribesmen in the battle, the area became even more Roman in flavor afterward.

“ Twas in that place o’ Scotland isle, That bears the name o’ auld King Coil.” Robert Burns

Genealogy of Old King Coil (Cole):"Coel of Ayrshire (the third Coel aprox 400AD) should be separated from the second Coel/Cole (aprox 305 AD), who was the founder of Colchester and father of St. Helena, and from the first Cole (King Coilus, 95-154 AD), father of Lucius.[Old King Cole]

local tradition in Kyle, the district name derives from the ancient King, popularly known today as Old King Cole

"The Welsh leader was Gwendolew, who claimed descent from Coel Hen--Old King Cole. But there was still a Roman party among these northern Britons..."

You may have wondered, at one time, how a pub got it's unusual name. In Colchester that's not a problem. This is what remains of the Balkerne Gate in the Roman west wall, the two passage ways on the right in the model.

[R. Scott]

Off the track, emotions would have run high too. "There was more chance of being hurt in clashes between supporters then there was on the track," says Robert Masefield, an archeologist in Colchester.

So the English Rugby fan’s actions are just a long standing tradition?
