Black Phoenix Trading Post (BPTP) Inquisition : Warrior Queens Limited Edition Perfume Oil (Limited)
Rebel Queen of the Iceni, she led an uprising of the tribes against the Roman Empire. After Claudius' conquest of the area, the Iceni voluntarily allied themselves to Rome, though Rome was not a gentle parent state. The Romans conquered much of Brittania, desecrated the sacred groves at Mona, and slaughtered the druids. When Boadicea's husband, Prasutagus, died, his will was ignored and his massive financial debt to Rome was called in forcefully. Iceni was annexed as though it was a conquered territory, property and estates were seized, both tribal nobility and the common folk were enslaved. When Boadicea objected to the treatment of her lands and her people, she was flogged, and her children were grievously injured.
Boadicea took her vengeance.
Under the leadership of Boadicea, the Iceni and Trinovantes united with their neighbors and the surviving druids of Mona to instigate a rebellion. They cut a swath of furious destruction. Her warriors slaughtered Legionary forces, and destroyed Camulodunum, Londinium, and Verulamium — so scorching the earth beneath Londinium that the scar is still visible beneath modern London.
