BOUDICCA.
Variant spelling of
Celtic Boudica,
meaning "victory." Also see Bonduca,
Buddug,
and Boadicea.
The
unscrupulous horde of foreigners that followed Roman armies now began to
oppress the Welshmen of the Eastern Counties, and to behave shamefully
in many ways. This roused the anger of the Welsh, and, with Queen
Boudicca at their head, they put to death a large number of the
invaders. Suetonius replied with a great slaughter of the
Welsh. Boudicca died A.D. 61. Roman historians state that
she poisoned herself on the battlefield after the final engagement; but
Welsh historians, presumably in possession of facts, say that she died a
natural death. (Welshmen, Stephens, 1901)
