Two queens of Roman Britain. One
a monumental failure that screams out in eternity. The other is successful but
fades into forever - only to be forgotten. The Roman Empire wrote wonderful records of
their victories but scarcely mentioned their friends.
Boudicca built her glorious reputation
on a gigantic failure that left thousands upon thousands dead. While Queen Cartimandua played the game of client queen for over twenty-six years. The successful
Queen of the Brigantes is lost to the British people while Boudicca’s grand disaster echoes in eternity.
