Between AD 61 and AD 63 Boadicea led her Iceni people to a glorious war against the Romans. The Iceni Celts had submitted their kingdom in East Anglia to the conquering Romans and the rule of Emperor Claudius in AD 43. In AD 61, Prasutagus, Boadicea's husband and King of the Iceni died. A dispute followed during which Boadicea, was publicly beaten by the soldiers of the emperor, and her two daughters raped. The Iceni were insulted and rose in revolt led by their queen Boadicea. So successful was the uprising that the Romans were almost defeated. Unfortunately for the Iceni and their allies, the military skill of the Roman army finally led to the crushing of the rebellion.After the revolt, Roman rule was re-established. For almost two glorious years, Boadicea pillaged the Roman settlements; she remains to this day, the greatest of the heroines of Britain.
I am named after this British heroine & I am a gorgeous tuxedo lady with a hind paw that has Domino marks! I also have beautiful, big, inquisitive orange eyes which get me just about anything I want from my foster mom & dad. I get along great with my brothers & sisters & love to romp & play with them. When it's nap time, I seek out mom or dad's lap for a snooze. Won't you let me curl up in yours?
