	AllRefer.com - Boadicea (British And Irish History, Biography) - Encyclopedia
		The Romans, however, seized the kingdom and began to despoil it, thus provoking the Iceni to revolt.
		Boadicea led them in sacking Colchester, London, and Verulamium (St. Albans).
		Her army was eventually crushed by the Roman governor Caius Suetonius Paulinus, and Boadicea took poison.

	Boudicca - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is generally thought that Gildas, in his 6th century polemic De Excidio Britanniae, alludes to Boudicca in his typically oblique fashion as a "treacherous lioness", although his general lack of knowledge about the real history of the Roman conquest of Britain makes this far from certain.
		Until relatively recently Boudicca was better known as Boadicea, a name which probably derives from a mistranscription when a manuscript of Tacitus was copied in the Middle Ages.
		A great bronze statue of Boudicca in her war chariot (furnished with scythes after Persian fashion), together with her daughters, was commissioned by Prince Albert and executed by Thomas Thornycroft.

		Boadicea took poison rather than fall into the hands of the Romans, and, legend has it, gave poison to her daughters for the same reason.
		Plays and poems were written to celebrate Boadicea’s battle for her people’s rights and liberties, and in 1902 a stirring statue in her honour was raised in the shadow of the Houses of Parliament.
		Nor is there evidence of another great myth, that Boadicea fought her last battle near London and that her body lies where she fell – in the ground on which King’s Cross Station was built many years later.

		Boadicea's legs have long, overlapping workspaces, allowing the robot to maintain stability when one leg is damaged.
		Because Boadicea is a much smaller and lighter robot, the pantographs can be much simpler than that used on other robots.
		Boadicea's pantographs are made from injection molded plastic, and use low-friction sliding prismatic joints.

	EMLS 6.2 (September, 2000) 24.1-12 Review of The Legacy of Boadicea
		Boadicea interrupts the tidy narratives of national origin that are briefly marshalled under the sign of Elizabeth's inviolate island body in the late sixteenth century.
		Boadicea, like Elizabeth, is confined to a dead history, just as real seventeenth-century women become confined to the sphere of the domestic.
		This savagery is given testimony in Holinshed who, with characteristic vigour, launches into an account of the atrocities that Boadicea and her troops performed on the battlefield: grotesque mutilations, including the amputation of her female victim's breasts, which were then sewed onto their mouths.

	Iceni Queen Boadicea -- by Valkyrie
		Thatcher is a recent example of this). One must keep in mind that the perspective of the Roman chroniclers was from the point of a totally male-dominated society, where a woman was the property of her male relatives, from birth until death. This, by the way, was an alien concept in traditionally matriarchal Celtic society.
		The chroniclers tell of three great speeches that Boadicea made to call her people to arms. While there is undoubtedly truth in this, they go on to put words into her mouth. There are no eyewitness accounts handed down to us, so let it suffice to know that she accomplished what no-one had tried before...
		It might be of interest to note that according to the Roman chroniclers, women fighting side by side with their men was not at all uncommon in the Britain of that time. But Boadicea not merely fought alongside the men, she led them into battle...

		Rowley sailed in the Boadicea for the scene of the action, but the usual adverse winds delayed his arrival until after Iphigenia's surrender.
		Rowley's Boadicea had become separated from her two smaller consorts during the night, so the British commodore delayed advancing on the French frigates and their disabled prize until he had reunited his squadron.
		Within hours, however, the Boadicea and her two smaller escorts again set sail in search of the Astree and the Iphigenie which had cautiously followed the British squadron back to Reunion.

	Pop Occulture: Boadicea (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		She was this Celtic warrior queen who lead an almost successful revolt against the Romans around about the time 60 A.D. The Romans most disliked the terrifying war spirit of the Celts, especially the fact that women fought alongside the men, indistinguished in honor and strength.
		Oh, and I almost forgot, Mel Gibson's putting together a movie on her, called "Warrior." I guess they're calling it that rather calling it "Boadicea" or "Boudicca" since those aren't as easy to pronounce.
		I remember, I had originally learned about Boadicea as a kid, from some book about the Celts, back when I was reading a lot of European and military history stuff.

		But every British schoolchild knows (one might hope) that Boadicea was the warrior queen from present-day East Anglia who rose against her Roman oppressors after they appropriated her Iceni tribe's estates and then flogged her and raped her two daughters for good measure.
		That Victorian appropriation of her legend is underscored by the spectacular bronze of her and her daughters astride a scythe-wheeled chariot that confronts you at the Thames-side exit of Westminster tube station.
		The name "Boadicea", she suggests, is probably based on inaccurate transcriptions of Tacitus's "Boudicca".
