Whipped, then forced to watch her daughters raped in her village center, Boudica, Celtic queen of the Iceni tribe of Britons, vowed revenge on the Romans who violated women and children. Leading a mass revolt of British peoples who had been driven from their lands by Emperor Nero’s invaders, Boudica fought three Roman legions and burned London to the ground. Cutting a swath of destruction across southern England, she chased down the main Roman army and set the stage for a battle that would echo through the ages.

Actor Nathalie Emmanuel joins father-daughter history team Jon & Emily Jordan to tell the story of Boudica.
