What was Boudicca famous for?
Boudicca, also known as Boadicea, was a queen of the Celtic Iceni tribe in ancient Britain. She is famous for leading a major uprising against the Roman occupation of Britain in AD 60-61. Boudicca's forces successfully defeated several Roman settlements and armies before ultimately being defeated in a final battle. Her legacy as a symbol of resistance against foreign domination has endured throughout history.
Is there a ghost of boudicca?
Yes there is a ghost of queen Boudicca. Her ghost has been spotted periodically throughout the years. Sightings of her have included in and around Theydon Bois (Essex) Iron age hillfort in the epping forest.Her daughters have also been sighted with her in this area. Boudicca and her soldiers are reported to haunt the icknield way in Ipsden (oxfordshire) along with some Roman soldiers. Other places where Queen Boudicca's ghost has been sighted include Cammeringham Lincolnshire in the area around Ermine street, where she travels around the village. Boudicca's ghost has also been seen at the Ambresbury Hillfort in Essex. There are numerous reports of her loitering in the area. So yes, Boudicca's ghost is still haunting Britain, maybe she has unfinished business or she can't rest because the Britons lost the battle with the Romans and she can't deal with it. It is hard to say....I guess that is a question that we would have to ask Boudicca herself.

Why did boudicca poison herself?
Boudica killed herself because she could not bear to live in a nation under Roman rule after her Celtic rebellion had been crushed. The might of the Roman Army had utterly decimated her armed forces, and there was no longer any hope of overthrowing the oppression by Rome of the Celtic peoples, or even of entering into a negociated deal that would have allowed them more freedom and a degree of autonomy.

When the Romans defeated Queen Boudicca, the leader of the Celtic Civilization, her warriors and herself must have felt very disappointed and they soon gave up.

But when they defeated her, she drank poison and killed herself rather than be taken prisoner by the ruthless Romans.
