Warrior Queen (1:30) 2006

Boudica, an early Celtic Queen, battles the Roman Empire during the reign of Nero. The Masterpiece Theater presentation focuses on the time after the death of Boudica's husband, a powerful chieftain, through her final battle with the Roman legions. This telling of one of early and rare female queens is bloody. It shows battles, beheadings and a the rapes of Boudica's daughters. It was interesting to see the British conquest by Rome as seen by the British. It was a good change a pace since so many of the stories are about the lost Ninth Legion or told from the Roman prospective. Warrior Queen was shown by PBS and is now on DVD. A definite rental for all interested in early Celtic history.
