I have some other questions, but unsure whether this is the appropriate thread. Please forgive me if these are a little naive.
If, as Richard Hingley suggests, B (royal birth, etc) was related to Cartimandua, then SP had every reason to engage with her to stop the risk of an amalgamation of forces. This might be a reason for B not immediately returning home and might also argue for a site further North of the Chilterns.
Where did the Iceni, Trinovantes (Briganti?) get their armory from? I thought being a client kingdom involved giving up the right to bear arms.
Is there no further mention of B's daughters? I have read somewhere that it was illegal to crucify a young girl, hence ritual abuse. However, that apparently did not stop the Romans in their later systematic extermination of the Iceni.
Who was the woman who succeeded Cartimandua around AD 85? Is this correct? I cannot find the source.
Was T. really mistaken when, in Calgacus'speech, he referred to ' Under a woman's leadership the Brigantes were able to burn a colony, to storm a camp......'
