Fighting the Romans!!!!

With this enigmatic and intriguing title I posted in the class blog the following text (the excuse to work with different verbs and nouns related to war field:

"In Social Studies you´re studying the Roman Empire. Did you know that the Romans also arrived to England?

In the first years of the current era, England was conquered by Romans legions.

At the beginning they negotiated with local leaders safety for taxes (in kind).  But as they were well established they began to break the agreements achieved and to subdue the different tribes.

All members of the different native groups where considered from that moment slaves of the Roman citizens who lived in England, and all their goods and properties where transferred to that same Roman citizens and soldiers.

None of the leaders felt strong enough to fight the Roman legions. None?

Boudicca the brave queen of the northern tribe of the Icnies, fought fiercely against them. This is her story.
