| I ran across her while I was researching Celtic mythology and history several years ago. If I remember correctly, she was the wife of a tribal leader during the Roman occupation, a woman warrior who led a revolt against the Romans, and almost succeeded.

"...britain was mostly conquered during the reign of claudius, the event happened in the reign of nero, meaning that the territory was relatively newly settled, the tribes were to be incorporated into the roman system, but in typical roman style, repression leads to revolt leading to suppression slaughter and final appeasement, unintentionally perhaps, native tribes were progressively culled like this..." mentioned the goblin noting how this system might have worked and flourished had not the "haves" and "have nots" become so clearly segregated and odious, that in ad 410 one of these same settled tribes finally sank the system by sacking the western capital rome when both the slaves and the poor actually opened the gates to them, the freefall that followed from there then was called 'the dark ages' but it was more like regionalism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaius_Suetonius_Paulinus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claudius https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXGGm4GQAq4 |
