Queen Boudicca Quote

June 3, 2023

"I am not fighting for my kingdom and wealth. I am fighting as an ordinary person for my lost freedom...Consider how many of you are fighting, and why.
Then you will win this battle, or perish. That is what I, a woman, plan to do! Let the men live in slavery if they will."

~ Queen Boudicca ~
