Boudicca lost her revolt against the Romans because she did not have the troops or the organization that the Romans had. She rallied her tribesmen to fight against the Roman army bu they were greatly outnumbered in men, weapons and strategy.
Boudicca had great leadership qualities, and she had a motivation that incensed her people. She and her two daughters, one as young as 12 had been gang raped and tortured by Roman legions. This helped to inspire the people to join her in revolt. Once defeated, it's speculated she and her daughters committed suicide by drinking hemlock.
She won three battles with her army of 100,000 in the Battle of Camulodunum, Battle of Londinium (London) and then the Battle of Verulamium (St. Albans). By this time the Romans had begun burning their stores and crops, which Boudicca's army relied upon to supply her army. Her army tired and weakened fought one more battle, her army of 100,000 faced off against a Roman Army of 1,200. Boudicca's exhausted and tired army had fight uphill, which resulted in the rout of her army, which suffered 80,000 casualties by the end of the battle.
Boudicca, also known as Boadicea, was a queen of the Celtic Iceni tribe in ancient Britain. She is famous for leading a major uprising against the Roman occupation of Britain in AD 60-61. Boudicca's forces successfully defeated several Roman settlements and armies before ultimately being defeated in a final battle. Her legacy as a symbol of resistance against foreign domination has endured throughout history.
Queen Boudicca became queen of the Celtics in 43 A.D at the age of 17
Boudicca was actually only in one battle, which was the Battle of Wattling Street and she lost, big time. The cities and places that she pillaged were not able to put up more than a token resistance because they were undefended. Her "army" was nothing more than a wild undisciplined mob and when they had to engage in an actual battle against a real army, they were slaughtered.
Boudicca was vilified in Roman history because she nearly drove the Romans out of England. However, modern history does not really view her as a villain. She started a rebellion against an oppressive Roman regime that took her people as slaves when they could not pay tribute, and had begun replacing her tribe's gods with their own. When she spoke out against the Roman regime, she was publicly beaten and her two daughters were raped in order to silence her and put her in her place. History today views her as a mother taking vengeance for her children, and a queen protecting her tribe and way of life against outside conquerors. She is also one of England's national heroes. Modern history does not view Boudicca as a villain.
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.
Boudicca, the warrior queen of the Iceni tribe, primarily used horses for transportation during her revolt against Roman rule in Britain. Her forces were known to travel on horseback, which allowed for greater mobility and speed in their raids against Roman settlements. Additionally, her army may have utilized chariots, a common mode of transport and warfare in ancient Celtic societies, to enhance their tactical capabilities in battle.
