Who was Boudicca?

from History for Kids / History's Not Boring: The Kids History Podcast · host SCL

Imagine standing in a muddy field in ancient Britain when suddenly, the ground starts to shake! You hear the thundering hooves of horses and see a massive wooden war chariot speeding toward you. Riding inside is a terrifying warrior queen with bright red hair flying in the wind! Her name is Queen Boudicca, and she is leading a massive army to take on the most powerful military in the ancient world: the Roman Empire! In this exciting episode of History's Not Boring, Mira and Finn travel back to 60 CE to uncover the incredible true story of Boudicca's Rebellion! When the Romans break their promises and treat her family terribly, Boudicca refuses to back down. Instead, she unites the Celtic tribes and builds a colossal army of 230,000 warriors! You won't believe what happens when she marches on the Roman town of Londinium (which we now call London), or the bizarre, spiky "hair gel" her Celtic warriors used to look extra scary in battle! Get ready to learn about epic chariot tricks, incredible battles, and the legacy of one of history's fiercest heroines!
