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.

∙ 13y agoQueen Boudicca did not conduct an invasion. She revolted against Roman rule of her people. Some have estimated that 70,000 to 80,000 people died in the Roman towns that her forces destroyed, but these estimates are open to suspicion.
In her final battle, 400 Roman soldiers died.

∙ 13y agoThe Romans, with less than 10,000 men, defeated 230,000 of Boudicca's troops and they slaughtered 80,000. The Romans lost only 400 men. That should clearly demonstrate the difference between an armed mob and an army.

Why did boudicca rebel?
After Boudicca's husband, the king of the Iceni tribe died, he left part of his kingdom to the Romans, and the other part to his two daughters. The Romans, however, wanted all the territory and invaded, taxing the people, and taking some as slaves. Boudicca spoke out against the Roman injustices, and in retaliation and to silence her, the Romans publicly flogged her and raped her two daughters. Boudicca then gathered together many of the other Briton tribes, and lead a rebellion against Rome.
How many daughters did boudicca have?
She didn't have any sons- only two daughters.
Did Boudicca have any siblings?
Yes, she had two daughters called Heanua and Lannosea. Little is known about them other than that they were raped by rogue Roman troops following the death of Boudicca's husband Prasutagus, who had been King of the powerful Iceni tribe and who had tried to ensure good relations with the Romans by making the then Roman Emperor, Nero, co-heir in his will. The Roman Governor of Britain, Gaius Paulinus, ignored this gesture and took advantage of Prasutagus's death to try and conquer the Iceni, imprisoning Boudicca, having her daughters sexually violated, killing or torturing many of the Iceni people, and siezing their land and assets. Both daughters took part in their mother's revolt against Roman rule, but committed suicide alongside her by drinking poison after the rebellion had been crushed.

Why did boudiccas revolt fail?
Even though the Romans were outnumbered by Boudicca's army (of about 145,000), the British rebels were in complete disarray. The Roman army (of around 10,000) was in strong formation and the Romans were amazing fighters.The revolt failed because the Romans were just too powerful and strong for Boudicca's army. The Romans also positioned themselves on a hill, and so they had the advantage of positioning themselves up high.In a way, the revolt succeeded because after Boudicca's death (she took poison in the battle) the Romans realised they had to treat the Britons better, otherwise there might be another rebellion.The reason the Romans were so worried of another rebellion was because a lot of Romans had died before the final battle, and many Roman buildings had been destroyed or burnt.
How do you think boudicca's warriors felt after the Romans had defeated them?
When the Romans defeated Queen Boudicca, the leader of the Celtic Civilization, her warriors and herself must have felt very disappointed and they soon gave up. For a woman, Queen Boudicca was very strong. She was very fearless and had killed many Romans herself. But when they defeated her, she drank poison and killed herself rather than be taken prisoner by the ruthless Romans.

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.
How many people where in Boudicca's army and how many died?

Imagined portrait of Boudicca ©Boudicca was queen of the Iceni people of Eastern England and led a major uprising against occupying Roman forces. Boudicca was married to Prasutagus, ruler of the Iceni people of East Anglia. When the Romans conquered southern England in AD 43, they allowed Prasutagus to continue to rule. However, when Prasutagus died the Romans decided to rule the Iceni directly and confiscated the property of the leading tribesmen. They are also said to have stripped and flogged Boudicca and raped her daughters. These actions exacerbated widespread resentment at Roman rule. In 60 or 61 AD, while the Roman governor Gaius Suetonius Paullinus was leading a campaign in North Wales, the Iceni rebelled. Members of other tribes joined them. Boudicca's warriors successfully defeated the Roman Ninth Legion and destroyed the capital of Roman Britain, then at Colchester. They went on to destroy London and Verulamium (St Albans). Thousands were killed. Finally, Boudicca was defeated by a Roman army led by Paulinus. Many Britons were killed and Boudicca is thought to have poisoned herself to avoid capture. The site of the battle, and of Boudicca's death, are unknown.

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.
