Not Boadicea Perro. Mistress Quickly, Moll Cutpurse or another of those louche Shakespearean broads... Tarts are different from queens (unless you spell it queans). Reply to this message | Report message

I'd truly liked to have met her Martine, she sounds a right character, and I've met more-than a few of those in my time ... most if not all here in Sunni Cornwall :o) Reply to this message | Report message

Stories of tarts, bishops and policemen always make a good read. The image of Mr Plod going undercover and dressing the part but modestly keeping his helmet on is always good for a chuckle.

England didn't exist at that time, the tribe of Angles hadn't arrived, and wouldn't for a few hundred years either. She was however indigenous to the land of present East Anglia. Reply to this message | Report message

Boudicea was found dead by the Romans. She was covered in raspberry sauce, nuts and hundreds & thousands. They think she topped herself. Reply to this message | Report message

"The site of the battle is not given by either historian, although Tacitus gives a brief description. A wide variety of sites, all consistent with an army attacking from the area of London toward the Roman forces concentrating from the direction of Cornwall and Wales, has been suggested. One legend places it at Battle Bridge Road in King's Cross, London, although from reading Tacitus it is unlikely Suetonius returned to the city" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Watling_Street Reply to this message | Report message

Talking of frightening Englishwomen, I was riveted by Tory MP Anna Soubry who appeared last night on one of the channels. Obviously the lady is very capable, but she also has the authentic, chicken-like look of one with limited intellect. Misleading no doubt. Reply to this message | Report message
