Boadicea (Boudicca) was the queen of the Iceni, a tribe of Celts living in eastern England. Her husband was a governor, who worked with the Romans. After his death the Romans tried to take control. Boadicea led a rebellion, which sacked the towns of Colchester and London, until the Roman armies marched against her. The Romans defeated the Iceni and their Celtic allies. She is renowned for fighting from a chariot, and the Romans had to develop special tactics to combat these fast-moving warriors. Boadicea ended her own life by taking poison to avoid being captured.

Celtic poetry- 'STORM AT SEA' Tempest on the plain of lir Bursts its barriers far and near and upon the rising tide Wind and noisy winter ride Winter throws a shining spear.
