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.
It was fourteen years from her first revolt to her defeat in 61 AD.
Boudicca was not Scottish. She was English.
Boudicca was a Celt.
Boudicca and the Celts rebelled against Roman rule primarily due to oppressive taxation and the mistreatment of Boudicca's family, including the seizure of her kingdom and the abuse of her daughters. The rebellion, which began in AD 60 or 61, was fueled by widespread resentment towards Roman exploitation and cultural imposition. Boudicca sought to restore her people's freedom and avenge the injustices they faced under Roman governance. The revolt ultimately reflected broader discontent among various tribes in Britain regarding Roman dominance.
