Boudica's strory inspired Enya to release the song "Boadicea" from her 1987 album The Celts . One of the most sampled vocal arrangements in popular songs.
Being English we used to be taught all of this,she is a hero, the epitome of resistance in the face of overwhelming odds. Of vengeance in all its forms, hell hath no fury.... Awesome as always. Thank you.
@@NotoriousEKB and yet Londinium (London)which she sacked is in England, nothing to do with her? I don't understand why you would choose to use animosity in the manner you are. I sometimes despair at people who have knowledge but not the time to use it wisely.
@@Dovahkiin0117 Do you people not read or just form an opinion in your head and go with it? Stating it has nothing to do with England yet the vid clearly states Londinium, We all know she was British Iceni, we all know that England is part of Britain,we all know that the Celts inhabited parts of now England and that the British which includes the English are in part descended from Celts/Picts/Danes/Norse/Italian(Rome) and various other nationalities. So I ask again why are you 'intelligent' people trying to correct something that isn't incorrect, and why the animosity. In other words why bother to argue something that isn't being debated. Or is it just my lucky day and you two are the Lucky trolls??.
Imagine being a lowly Roman soldier being charged by a bunch of screaming naked barbarian women in the middle of nowhere. Probably very confused the first few times it happened lol
The way I just screamed and scared my dog when the notification came up!!! This is such an under told incredible story!! You have out done yourself by giving her a video thank you so much!
another banger this is exactly the kind of stories that i had in mind in my last comment on ur videos never heard of boudica idk how either i usually know my roman history but now i do.
My impression of Rome, only just a few years ago was of a stable society that conquered neighbors and then went on about the running of the country. After watching Briefed's videos it is clear that the Romans were regularly having to deal with push-back from people's who didn't want to be part of the Roman community, and the burdens that came along with it. One must always be cautious about looking at the past through romantic glasses.
Exactly and Rome had to also deal with huge frequent fires, famines, disease outbreaks , insane emperors that thought they were gods, and brutal civil wars over power.
First time watching one of your videos, I'm hooked already. I love your voice and the cadence of your speech, also the depth you go into in explaining this very complex woman. Subbed.... keep up the good work. :)
Because there’s not enough evidence to make it “history.” Chances are she was only a uniter of the tribes, which should be enough, seeing how great of a feat that was.
Boudica is dope! Throughout history, people think women just stayed home and cooked, cleaned, and cared for the kids. African women and Viking women in history were killers on the battlefield. Great video, brotha! As always. Thank you.
Women stayed home and cooked as much man stay in farms. Women throughout history always been active in invention, politics etc. it’s a myth women stay home.
African woman is a wild statement considering Africa is a gigantic continent and fit a lot of cultures and if we are on this topic most of those cultures have a pretty black and white view on woman and it is not worriers or hunters but stay at home kind of woman.
Number been questionable even by Roman historian. Don’t take face value. I like Roman history but their tribal history always been questionable due other side not having a voice cause you know, they can’t write if they’re dead.
@@KOCChristian Even if the numbers were inflated by half, Paulinus did his best to save the Roman citizens and his legate ignored his call to help, 100k, 200k, the number inflation doesn't matter, one general with two legions did what would be considered impossible, however i've always been a Gaius Pauliunus fan.
When I found out she was real, my jaw dropped. I’ve heard of women fighting along with the male Viking warriors and that’s bad ass. My Celt history knowledge is lacking and now I need to find out more information.
Damn, i was working so i left the video running on the background. I got to watch the last 5 minutes only to see the amazing illustrations you used. I guess it´s time for a rewatch...
There's still 6 inches of charcoal under Old London... She also ambushed the 9th Legion on the road, massacring all but the cavalry. 😨😵 And thank you for the the bit about the number and propaganda, too many don't mention it at all.
i love this story. This is a story told by the woman in my family, since our relatives were there. It's pretty awesome to see it put into story, and even more amazing put out by briefed, AND even more epic you got the story 100% correct! A lot of people who try to tell the story get it wrong, but you hit it home perfectly. Thank you. Sharing this with my entire family!
Historically speaking if I had to pick one army to fight and die in under a lead whose story and legend has only grown in time I absolutely pick hers! I’ve read so much about this woman. I tell my girls that she’s absolutely a historical figure to emulate
Speaking of Celts, do you have any plans to a video on the Irish demigod Cúchulainn? There's so many weird and cool stories about him, from the monstrous transformation he undergoes as part of his ríastrad or battle-rage, to singlehandedly defending his province from invading armies, through a mixture of single combat and guerilla warfare. Even apart from all the fighting and killing he does there's a story where he has an affair with Fand, wife of the sea god Manannan mac Lir. Which at first glance is like, ok he got some goddess loving. Except for the fact that Manannan was the foster-father of Cúchulainn's own biological godly parent Lugh Lámhfada. So did this guy just cuck his divine adoptive grandfather? There's also the story where he's forced to fight his best friend in single combat, and kills said friend by throwing a spear up his nether region, and then gets really sad about the whole situation. (The spear in question was called the Gáe Bulg, which in Irish actually has no sexual connotations, simply meaning belly-spear.)
Oh and his own wife caught him when he was about to elope with Fand and oh boy it was 🤡🤣 And they (I think it was an idea of his charioteer) had to wipe their memory for them to get back together because their couple feud Impacted all other couple of the (I cannot write the name of th company of warriors istg)
I know the Romans obviously tainted history but I love the fact they admitted when they were beat because they didn't need to ,they wrote the history book..they knew how important any info and all info was.
Small detail, but Paulinus only had 1 legion, the XIV Gemina Martia Victrix Legion. Which was a ‘Gemina’ legion or double strength. The 2,500 men that Boudica defeated were from the 9th legion, which is the legion that later ‘disappeared’ most likely in Scotland.
Great stuff as always. According to Tacitus( a Roman historian and Politician.). Boudicca was whipped and her daughters were raped. Again by Tacitus, she poisoned herself. But according to Cassius Dio(a Roman historian) . She died in sickness. in 1970, in Germany. They found what is called Boudicca sword. A Gladius. Around 2000 years old. They say. the time of Queen Boudicca revolt.. It's now in the Royal Armouries collection in the Leeds Museum. Some historians say that Boudicca wasn't a druidess. But some say she was. Her and her tribe worshiped a goddess, named "Andraste, a war goddess ". Who's sacred animal was the Hare. Cassius Dio. (him again.). That Boudicca would release a hare before a battle and invokeing the goddess name. So maybe she was a Druidess. Some historians say that the Iceni probably.
One of my all time heroes. I know her story so well except that her possible grave was found. Now a new rabbit hole to jump into. Have you thought about the lost eagle or the picts?
was never impressed by Boudica, Zenobia yes, boudica slaughtered undefended cities, half-baked legions, not a full legion given the guy who beat her wasnt reinforced and he crushed her in battle
Hmm about the radiocarbon dating. It can be, but that is more when it's older. The closer it is to current date, the more accurate it is. This is due to the half-life of the radioactive carbon. A.k.a. you start to get differences when you're working with stuff which is around 6.000 years old. With the 200ish difference being probably stuff around 50.000 years old. With things about 1.000 years old there's barely any difference. Maybe a 5 to 10 year difference max.
Did you change the title and the cover photo? I never would’ve clicked on the video if it had said this before or had the currently cover. It was your previous title that got me to watch and comment, as well as the cover photo. Just so you know.
I came back for the video because the content is good, but I wouldn’t have watched this as a movie review, and would have missed this gem. The title had “Queen” in it. That’s what kicked it into my algorithm. (My about me explains why.)
Wow maybe these big Hollywood production companies should tell real stories like this, instead of making pre-existing male characters female and poorly told at that
they are all generated with midjourney, which is ai, so they don't exist outside of me, but the art is heavily inspired by Fiona Staples who was the artist for Saga
I create the art with an ai called midjourney and just prompt it by feeding it with photos, but generally this art style was inspired by Fiona Staples, and then I kind of put a spin on it until I was happy

Because there’s not enough evidence to make it “history.”
Chances are she was only a uniter of the tribes, which should be enough, seeing how great of a feat that was.
I might be wrong but stuff would be hella different if the battle was succesfull
Great video! Only channel where I look forward to the plug and where you're gonna put it... (no diddy)

I need to start listening to your channel at work and just binge every video
I agree bobby, I agree
Can we give Paulinus some fucking credit for being a 100:1 underdog and just facing her whole horde down and actually fucking winning?
yes, we absolutely can. Paulinus used his tactical genius dot dominate and impossible battle

yeah I guess that's a good point - kudos that they even documented boudica at all
Very nice video, your voice made me feel optimistic, thanks
Great story. Thanks for sharing.

You never disappoint.

happy to be your plugger.
Little Timmy tried out your divide and conquer suggestions at school and on the playground, and he says it was good advice! ❤💪👍🙅

Question: What's the name of that amazing song that begins around the 4:31 mark? I've heard it in a few if your other videos
If she and Spartacus or Hannibal were alive at the same time…
her and spartacus are actually only separated by like 150 years
UA-cam still won’t notify me when the video drops, like it’s supposed to. But at least it popped up on the home page within 48 hours.
that's so odd.... it's even happening to my girlfriend at times. very weird
@@Briefed_Mythology must be some form of shadow banning. They hate how fast we click when you upload.
The comic artsyle looks good
Your B roll is epic lol
One of my all time heroes. I know her story so well except that her possible grave was found. Now a new rabbit hole to jump into.
Have you thought about the lost eagle or the picts?
@Briefed have you looked at Vercingetorix? The Last Gallic king to defy Rome?
This is the first I heard of her
That Man on Fire clip…… 🔥🔥
That was Epic. Thank you.
thank you for watching
I would watch the hell out of the movie if they made one.
I must ask, since it looks like you are covering the historic figures who gave Romans pause, does that mean you have a video on Arminius coming up?
Arminius wasn't planned, but I should absolutely do it, now that you mention it... damn. one of my favorite tales too and one of Rome's worst defeats
Glued to the story. Had to remember to breathe building up to the (2,000 year old) battle. Wild.
was never impressed by Boudica, Zenobia yes, boudica slaughtered undefended cities, half-baked legions, not a full legion given the guy who beat her wasnt reinforced and he crushed her in battle
Never heard of her…I wonder if Xena was created from her.
hmmmm never even considered the Xena similarities until now. interesting.... 🤔
Hide this from Disney and Netflix! They gonna DEI this story!
Well well well the weekend is complete
i remember reading about her a long time ago. im surprisde shes not brought up much as a femnist icon....i think xena did an episode dedicated to her
I'm sure Xena also drew a lot of inspiration from her
I love your voice as you tell this tale.. ❤ tell me more.. again and again tell me
haha lucky for you there are toooons of videos on the channel
you should make videos about The Silmarillion (Lord of the Rings lore). it would be fantastic
actually my video called something something 'Lord of The Rings' is about the simlarilion basically
i want a movie of her so bad now she's so epic
yup, we need a good - GOOD - movie adaption of this that's not pulling punches
❤😂 THE REAL LIFE MOTHER OF DRAGONS...!😱💩🙏❤️🔥🪷😌🔥
Rome’s greatest blunder. Big oof moment
this and the spartacus blunder. they're late reaction to spartacus also dearly cost them
Hmm about the radiocarbon dating. It can be, but that is more when it's older. The closer it is to current date, the more accurate it is. This is due to the half-life of the radioactive carbon.

oh this is so cool- love this.
I want a Boudicca Movie asap
you and me both, Jon, you and me both
bro what did you do to your beard
we need more greek mythology briefed!!!
1:05 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I'm sure they both were a metric ton of years apart, but imagine if Boudica bumped into Spartacus...
Whoa.
actually not that far apart, less than 150 years

couldn't help myself
What movie did you use for example at the beginning?
it's from a Boudica episode that the History channel did. highly recommended
Bro, yes. Thank you!
as always - thank you for watching
Bro he rlly said that ending as I was sitting on the toilet…
mission accomplished
Hollywood take notes! Badass women exist in history!
say It louder for the Hollywood execs in the back
What is there were not battling with themselves but actually having a tournament or a wrestling event or training
love the stache 🕵🏽♂️
thanks 🫡
From Bouttega to Bodega...
I wonder if Boudica was an inspiration for the game Assassin Creed Valhalla.... Because the story of war sounds like parts of Boudica storyline...
I'd think that Ubisoft definitely must have come across her tale in their research, so I wouldn't be surprised if she served as inspiration
Is this covered in that Barbarian show??
I do believe so, yes
If that's true she was indeed a horrible person just as the people she hated but far worse.
Wow maybe these big Hollywood production companies should tell real stories like this, instead of making pre-existing male characters female and poorly told at that
Every time you say her name all I hear is 619
Which comic book were some of those stills/photos taken from?
they are all generated with midjourney, which is ai, so they don't exist outside of me, but the art is heavily inspired by Fiona Staples who was the artist for Saga
And we will not see a Netflix movie about her 🤔
Where is all this art from? Is there a Roman comic book series?
I generate it with midjourney, but there is a roman comic book that I recommend: Eagles of Rome. Must read.
Just gonna leave, „No Vaseline“ here
absolutely none whatsoever
Great art. Can I get the name of the comic and artist?
I create the art with an ai called midjourney and just prompt it by feeding it with photos, but generally this art style was inspired by Fiona Staples, and then I kind of put a spin on it until I was happy
Where do you get your art, man?
I generate it with midjourney, so credit to all the incredible artists that inspire the ai
