Description:
New book, 390 pages. The Queen of Iceni has been immortalised as the woman who dared to take on the Romans to avenge her daughters, her tribe and her enslaved country. Her infamy rests not only on the fact that she almost drove the Romans out of Britain; her legend became the reference point for any woman in power - from Elizabeth I to Margaret Thatcher. Yet along the way, the real story behind this historical icon was lost, until now. Combining new research and recent archaeological discoveries, Vanessa Collingridge has written a major new biography on this shadowy and often misunderstood figure of ancient history who still captures our imagination today.
