One of the historic celtic women was queen Bodicca, who fought the Romans.......she tried to make a deal with the Romans to save her daughter from rape and offered herself instead....they raped her daughter anyway (a child) and her as well.....she was so fierce and maddened by their actions that she took up the sword and fought against them often winning. She is still remembered today in the word bodacious (bold and brave).....shows the age old "don't mess with a mother" is still alive and well today. and they died as she poised bother her and her dauter
