"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.
