What did the Romans want and do to boudicca?
It is said that the Romans used the "pig's head" formation against Boudicca and her forces. This was a vee shaped formation in which the Romans pushed into the attacking enemy with a wall of shields. The enemy could get into the spaces between the "vees" and then the back ranks of the Romans would turn and dispatch the entrapped enemy. However, the Roman were victorious not only because of their tactics, but of their discipline and training. War was their business, they knew what to do and how to do it. Their training and skill is what enabled less than 10,000 men to defeat a mob of 230,000 and slaughter 80,000 with only 400 losses.
What happened when boudicca protested against the Romans?
what diid the romans do that they killed her mum and she was in the present and her two daughter went to sex with some and the stole all the money from their six person While the Roman army was busy on the northwest coast of Wales-Boudica led a revolt. They destroyed Camulodunum (Colchester) an ex capital of a Celtic tribe turned into a Roman colony for discharged Roman soldiers. She routed a Roman legion sent to relieve the colony. She burned Londinium (London, which had been evacuated) and Verulamium (St Albans). She was then defeated the Roman army that had reassembled its contingents for around the province.
Why did boudicca lose against the Romans in the Battle?
Boudicca failed against the Romans for obvious reasons. The first was that she did not know what she was doing as she was no military leader. She seemed to be blinded by the quest for revenge rather than common sense (if she had any in the first place). The second reason was that she had no control over her so-called army. She may have condoned the burning, looting, and the mutilation and torture of the Romans and Celts in Londinium, Verrulamium and Camulodium, as it was relatively easy to attack and win over unarmed civilians and skeleton troops. However when Paulinus got word of her attacks and marched his legions back, it was a very different story. Boudicca's troops had swelled to an estimated 250,000 once word got around of the loot that was taken from the three towns that were devastated. They were undisciplined and almost impossible to control. They were overconfident that they would win over Paulinus and his under manned legions. Boudicca allowed Paulinus to pick the battlefield. Big mistake, as all the natural advantages of the terrain aided the Romans. In addition, Boudicca's "army" had never faced a full Roman legion on a battlefield. They had never encountered the awesome Roman discipline and their battle tactics. As it turned out, Boudicca's 250,000 were defeated by Paulinus' less than 10,000, with the Celts suffering a loss of 80,000 while the Romans lost 400.
Did the Romans defeat Boudicca?
Because Boudicca and the Romans had a difference of opinion. Her husband was a client king of Rome and living under Roman law. When he died he willed half of his kingdom to Nero, the Caesar at the time, and the other half to his wife. However because of Roman law a woman could not inherit,(except for a small restricted amount) from any husband or male relative. When Boudicca went to try and claim her inheritance, it was denied, she got nasty and so did the Romans. They flogged her and raped her two daughters.
When a kingdom was captured what happened to the king of that kingdom?
They would force him to give control to them or they would probably kill him.

Why did boudica fight against the Romans?
in AD 60, king Prasutagus died. Prasutagus was an allied king living under Roman law. Thinking he would save some of his kingdom for his wife and daughters, in his will, he gave the emperor Nero half of his kingdom and left the other half to his wife and daughters. However what Pratsutagus didn't understand was that women were not allowed to inherit more than 10% from a man under Roman law. When Boudicca went to claim her inheritance, she found that Rome had taken over the entire kingdom leaving her with the minimal. She raved at them, was whipped for it, and her daughters raped as punishment.

Did boudicca have a horse?
Probably. The Britons most powerful unit of war at the time of the Roman invasion was the chariot. So it is likely that Boudicca would have had her own horse.
