info_outlineIn the time around 60 AD when the Romans were occupying what would later become the country of England, a grand rebellion took place. The fight was taken to the Romans by the fierce warrior Queen Boudicca of the Iceni tribe of Briton. Boudicca is one of the most famous women of ancient history. She led a group of various tribes in Roman Briton against their Roman occupiers to try and kick Rome from their island. Roman governor Suetonius Paulinus was caught off guard by the rebellion and had to mount a hasty defense to protect Roman interests in Briton or risk the wrath of the Roman Emperor. The future of Roman Briton was at stake.
In Part 2, Things were progressing as normal in Roman England until King Prasutagus of the Iceni tribe passed away. A Roman entourage was sent to visit the Iceni and the now widowed Queen Boudicca to reaffirm Roman rule in the area. This Roman group led by Procurator Catus Decianus acted so harshly towards Boudicca and the local Iceni people that it would become known as the spark that ignited the people of Briton into open rebellion alongside Queen Boudicca against the Roman occupiers.
