Rome stole her country, publicly flogged her, and raped her daughters. The woman known variously as Boudica, Boudicca, Boadicea, Bonducca, and a dozen other variations fought back with everything she had. This episode includes:

How Rome came to the isle of Britain
How the Icenian king split his country between Rome and his daughters
How Rome wouldn't take half for an answer
How the Icenian queen gathered an army and burned three successive cities to the ground
How Rome won the last battle and the Iceni ceased to exist
How Boudica resurfaced as a symbol of British nationalism, female power, and female rage
