I’m sure Tacitus doesn’t mention Boudicca… please cite sources. It’s not in “Agricola”.
Macedonian What? Tell the Skopians
I heard that Cleopatra wasn't all that as far as looks. She did however have a high IQ and used it wisely. Learning 7 or 8 languages and how to manipulate men to her advantage. Not to mention she was ruthless.
I love the Saxons
My name is Saxon
@christinefahey8846 then that means your name is awesome.
I feel like we talk more about the Saxons than the Angles.
Imagine being flayed alive Infront of a crowd 😢
I would rather not be flayed Alive full stop 😂
Where specifically did the Angles come from?
I heard the original Britons escaped to somewhere in Wales.
