  • The Cultural and Ideological Significance of Representations of Boudica During the Reigns of Elizabeth I and James I
    EXETER UNIVERSITY AND UNIVERSITÉ D’ORLÉANS The Cultural and Ideological Significance Of Representations of Boudica During the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I. Submitted by Samantha FRENEE-HUTCHINS to the universities of Exeter and Orléans as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English, June 2009. This thesis is available for library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgment. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. ..................................... (signature) 2 Abstract in English: This study follows the trail of Boudica from her rediscovery in Classical texts by the humanist scholars of the fifteenth century to her didactic and nationalist representations by Italian, English, Welsh and Scottish historians such as Polydore Virgil, Hector Boece, Humphrey Llwyd, Raphael Holinshed, John Stow, William Camden, John Speed and Edmund Bolton. In the literary domain her story was appropriated under Elizabeth I and James I by poets and playwrights who included James Aske, Edmund Spenser, Ben Jonson, William Shakespeare, A. Gent and John Fletcher. As a political, religious and military figure in the middle of the first century AD this Celtic and regional queen of Norfolk is placed at the beginning of British history. In a gesture of revenge and despair she had united a great number of British tribes and opposed the Roman Empire in a tragic effort to obtain liberty for her family and her people.

  • Boudica in London – the Fire!
    BOUDICA IN LONDON – THE FIRE! UNDERSTANDING THE BOUDICAN REBELLION AND ITS EFFECT ON LONDON Introduction activity Remind the pupils of the events of the Boudican rebellion as outlined in the ‘Boudica in London ordering events activity’. If the pupils did not do this ordering activity you could use the ‘Boudican rebellion resource’ as a starting point for this lesson and discuss and re-order the events for clarity. Ask the class to think about what the feelings and thoughts must have been of a person living in Londinium at the time of the invasion by the Iceni. The people living in Londinium were Romans (those from the Roman Empire, not just Rome) and Britons who were living side by side. The Britons were getting used to a new life under Roman rule, perhaps enjoying new wealth and Roman influences like the bathhouses and Roman entertainment and new foodstuffs brought over from Europe. How do the class think they must have felt? Discuss their views. Main part of the lesson Watch the video clip on the Romans in London site that shows the site of the current buildings at Number 1 Poultry. To make it very real to the class show them the map of modern-day London and indicate where Poultry is using the ‘Where is Poultry map resource’. Pupils are therefore reminded of the relevance of this part of London’s history and the influence of Roman London today. Next, watch as a class the video clip that shows the evidence for the burning which shows examples of the contents of the merchant’s shop.

Who was Boudicca? • Boudicca was the wife of Prasutagus, the ruler of a Celtic tribe called the Iceni. • The Iceni lived in a region of Britain that is now called East Anglia.

The study shows that had Boudicca not changed her winning strategy in one key battle, she could have forced the Roman Empire to withdraw their presence from Britannia, at least until it was prudent to invade again. This paper analyzes the few extant historical accounts available on Boudicca, namely those of the Roman historians Tacitus and Cassius Dio, to explore the effectiveness of tactics on both sides of the rebellion.

The Celtic Queen Boudica as a Historiographical Narrative Abstract The story of Boudica, the Iron Age Celtic queen, has been echoed through multitudes of historical narratives, stories, poems, novels and even movies. Boudica led a rebellious charge against Roman colonists in Ancient Britain, and was eventually defeated. Now she stands as a woman who fought back against one of the most powerful empires in the world, during a time in which women had little to no place in history at all. Contemporary Roman historians Tacitus, born approximately around 56 or 57 C.E., and Dio, born around 150 C.E., both recorded the events of Boudica’s rise and fall, in retrospect to her defeat. These two Classical sources laid the foundation for the development of her history from the Renaissance up until the 21st century. Now, archaeological research in the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries has shed light on the truth of Boudica, an event which occurred over a thousand years before, in 60 or 61 C.E.

Notes Teachers should not feel that they need to pass on to their students all the information from these notes; they should choose whatever they think is appropriate. The examination requires knowledge outside the text only when it is needed in order to understand the text. 1 stabat: the verb (‘was standing’) has been placed dramatically at the start of the sentence. This helps the reader to imagine the scene on the shore slowly coming into the Romans’ view. diversa acies, densa armis: these words are arranged in the order adjective-noun-adjective-noun, with the repetition of ‘d’ and ‘a’, to make them stand out, emphasising how closely packed the lines are. 2-3 in modum Furiarm: the Furies were terrifying goddesses of vengeance who lived in the Underworld, often shown in funeral garb and brandishing torches (just like the women here). By comparing the Celtic women to these creatures, Tacitus is emphasising their barbaric nature and the level of fear they inspired in the Romans. 3-7 The translation is circum Druidae (around [them] the Druids), fundentes (pouring out) preces diras (fearful prayers) manibus (with their hands) sublatis (raised) ad caelum (to the sky), perculere (frightened) militem (the soldiers) novitate aspectus ( by the weirdness of the sight) ut (so that) praeberent (they offered) immobile corpus (their motionless bodies) vulneribus (to wounds) quasi (as though) haerentibus membris (their limbs [were] stuck together) preces diras…fundentes: another sinister description, with the vivid use of fundentes suggesting a flood of malevolence.
