Watch this inspiring but sad documentary about how the forgetten Queen of Iceni, UK. Boudica was her name. This documentary shows her rise to fame in ancient Roman history books as a rebel leader whose ragtag tribal armies once drove fear into the invading Roman legions. King Prasutagus was her husband who lived in peace with the invading Romans of ancient Britain. However, after his death, his Iceni tribe was brutally ravaged by the Romans who humiliated and beat Queen Boudica in front of her people and gravely dishonored her daughters. Breeming vengeance and wanting justice, Boudica sought to unite other tribes in her eastern regions against the Romans. Since everyone was tired of Roman brutality, the tribes united and fought under the banner of Boudica. They crushed one small Roman legion and attacked Roman settlements including London commercial center, slaughtering everyone there and razing everything to the ground. The fire was so hot that charred remains can be seen to this present day in cities where Boudica's armies destroyed. Drunk high on victory and never anticipating the might of Roman military superiority, Boudica's tribal armies, though great in number, were of no match to the 2 remaining legions who stood united against them. The decisive final battle somewhere in central UK saw the military victory of 2 Roman legions and how they cornered and walled the freedom-fighting rebels into a field of carnage and massacre.
