The fighting continued for almost twenty years after the Roman invasion.The Romans won many victories and it seemed as though nothing could stop them from ruling the whole country. Then, in AD 60, the Iceni tribe led by their queen, Boudicca, revolted.
Boudicca's army burnt the Roman city of Colchester, St Albans and London. They destroy the entire legion.
Boudicca meet Sueltonlus.
Other tribes joined Boudicca and soon she had a huge army of 100,000 soldiers.
Sueltonlus, the Roman governor of Britain, was in Anglesey fighting the Druids. Hearing news of Boudicca's army, he marched quickly south east with two legions to meet the Iceni. The great battle took place in the Midlands. Most of the British were killed and Boudicca herself took poison rarther than be captured by the Romans. The rebellion was over.
Not bad!
