Is Budika a good leader?

During the Roman Empire, the queen of Iceni, an ancient Celtic tribe in England, and her husband Prasutagus, the king of Iceni, were puppets of the Romans, and they tried to annex Iceni after his death. Therefore, in 6 1 year, Budika led a large-scale anti-Roman oppression activity. But these Britons were far less organized than the Roman army and were soon suppressed.

Later, it was regarded as the guardian goddess of Sagittarius by western wizards and fortune tellers.

British soldier

Budika, the queen of Aisini, was the ruler of a Celtic tribe. She challenged the Roman Empire's colonial strategy in Britain. The uprising she led to expel the Roman colonists was very close to success.

Budika's name is sometimes spelled Boadicea, which may or may not be Aisini's direct line. It is not surprising to know that she married King Prasutagus of Isini and formed a marriage alliance with other tribes of the Celtic royal family. The rest of the information about Budika comes from the works of Tacitus and Dior Gaius Gaius Cassius Longinus Longinus, two Roman historians. The latter describes his impression of Queen Asini: Budika, Dior wrote (quoted from the Budika uprising), "tall, terrible-looking, with a harsh voice. Thick bright red hair hung down to her knees: she wore a thick braided gold necklace and a colorful tunic with a thick cloak and a collar pin to fasten it. "

Occupy territory

The territory occupied by Aisini is Norfolk in present-day England, and historians believe that they immigrated from the European continent sometime in the late Bronze Age. In Britain, they established a farming economy, and even weavers made pottery. Their stability was threatened by Belgians from Gaul. The Borg people were hostile to Caesar because they helped their brothers who stayed in Gaul to resist Caesar and Roman rule. Around 55 BC, Caesar began to attack Britain.

To make things more complicated, the Borg people are superior to their Celtic neighbors such as the Essenes. The Borg people are skilled blacksmiths, more capable in agriculture, and most importantly, they have a well-organized military force. They soon began to occupy other tribes in this area. Aisini built a fortress to resist them, but when the Romans launched a powerful military invasion in AD 43, the Borg people gave in. 1 1 kings of the Celtic nation all signed the surrender. This historic surrender is remembered on the arch of Claudius in Rome. In any case, the two kings planned an agreement with the Romans long ago. In exchange, they could still retain some power over their own tribe. The two rulers were Cogidubnus of Regney (living in the coastal areas of Surrey and Sussex in southern England) and Prasutagus, the husband of Budika.

Deterrence system

In the next few years, the Romans established a solid military deterrent system in Britain, just as they did in other parts of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. The colonization of Rome meant the economic difficulties of the conquered people. Their economy was soon forced to start like a gear to cope with the production of grain and food and supply the soldiers of the huge Roman legion stationed on their land. At the same time, the Roman chief executive also imposed heavy taxes on a series of services and commodities, and Roman money lenders also took the opportunity to flood into Britain. Rome appointed British Governor Suetonius Paulinas devoted himself to eradicating the Celtic indigenous religion Druidism. Its pastor had a great influence on Celtic civilians and the royal class.

Origin of uprising

When CEO Catus Decianus abolished the terms of the financial agreement signed by Emperor Claudius and Prasutagus, the source of Budika uprising was born. It was once called a gift, but later it was renamed a loan. In response, Prasutagus left half of the kingdom to Claudius' successor Nero in his will to pay off the debt. Roman officials from Cato deutsch came to Aisini to claim all the territory. Because Budika and Prasutagus had no male heirs, Budika inherited the kingdom himself. She was arrested and beaten, and her two daughters were raped. The property of the Isini nobles was emptied, and minor relatives of the royal family were sold to Rome as slaves.

In the summer of 6 1 a.d., after nearly 20 years of rule in Rome, when Suvitonius led the attack on the Celts in Wales, an uprising against Rome had been planned. Although absolute and unquestionable victories were achieved in almost all parts of western and southern Europe, similar resistance was no stranger to the Romans. One hundred years ago, in the Gaul War, the Gauls rebelled against Caesar, and in 9 AD, the victory of Uss Amigny of Germanic countries in Teutonburg forest almost dragged the Roman invasion into the mire. Tacitus wrote that the British people's understanding of Amigny's victory provided fuel for their resistance.

Overview of action

The uprising began with a secret meeting of Boudica, Aisini and other tribes to which she belonged-among them, Trinovantes of Trino, who resented Rome's taxation of their territory near Camulodunum, a tribe named Cornovii VII from the west, and a Dorset Celtic tribe named Durotiges (Celts). Camrodonu, then the center of Roman rule in Britain, launched a propaganda offensive. In order to trouble the Romans, these harassment actions include turning the river red, knocking down the Roman victory statue erected in the center and so on.

In the summer of 6 1 A.D., the British Tribal Corps in Budika attacked Kamrodonu with two chariots. The uprising was launched from here, because the careless Romans made little effort to build walls and fortresses to defend the city. Celtic soldiers painted themselves blue to scare the enemy, and women held their ground with carriages and ox carts in the battle. Sometimes the wife dressed in black robes and carrying torches appeared near the front line of the battlefield, imitating the appearance of Druid priests and shouting curses to scare the Romans. Just as Sowetonius led nearly two-thirds of the British and Roman troops to victory in Wales, he received information about the rebellion in the east. He hurried back, but by then Cato deutsch Annous had fled by boat, followed by other senior Roman officials.

In the next three weeks, Budika's army-historians estimate that there are about100000 people-launched two other attacks on the Roman fortress. The second victory came from London, today's London. Before Sowetonius could evacuate all Roman citizens from the city (then the largest city in Britain), the British brutally slaughtered them. Horrible atrocities also happened to women. At the ceremony to commemorate the goddess of victory, the Druid priests sacrificed the heads of the Romans. Then, a few days later, Budika and the British captured Virulamihoum (now Saint Alban). This is the capital of Catuvellauni, which has won the legal status of the first city in Rome and Britain. Therefore, the British residents of the city were regarded as collaborators of the Romans, and they were treated mercilessly.

Tactical error

By this time, the Budika Rebellion had destroyed three major cities in Roman Britain, and the death toll of the Romans and British allies had reached 70,000. However, the British did not pay attention to their harvest time, because they imagined that they could easily rob the Roman reserves and Sovietonius ordered them to be burned-the army was facing famine. In addition, Budika could not control such a large and complicated army, and was seriously lacking in military discipline compared with the Romans. The last tactical mistake occurred when her army failed to capture the military deployment sites in Rome: these places were well defended, and there were supplies such as Roman troops and food, and Suvitonis could take advantage of him.

Boudica (English: Boudica or Boudicca), formerly known as Boadicea (Latin: Boadicea, or translated as Boadisia), is called Buddug (? -60 AD or 6 1 year), is the queen and queen of the ancient Aisini tribe in East Anglia, England. She led the uprising of British tribes against the occupation troops of the Roman Empire.

End of movement

The decisive final fierce battle marked the end of Budika's uprising against British and Roman colonists. The time and place of this battle is unknown at present, but it may have happened in an area between Tauchester and Wall in the late summer of 6 1 A.D.. According to later records, Sowetonius and his Roman soldiers gathered on the rocky terrain and provided good protection, while the British took the lead. When they were exhausted and exposed their tactical weakness, the Romans launched a counterattack. Budika's army completely collapsed. She fled back to Norfolk and swallowed the deadly poison because she expected that she would die at the hands of the Romans. She was the last ruler of Isini's royal lineage. It is said that the wealth of the whole kingdom was buried with her, but it is still a well-kept secret, no matter to her Roman enemies or modern archaeologists.

Statue of Budika

Today, the statue of Queen Budika and her daughters driving a chariot with knives and wheels stands at the west end of Westminster Bridge across the Thames, across the street from Big Ben. Entrusted by Prince Albert, this magnificent bronze statue was created by Thomas Thornycroft and completed in 1905.
