Irrational Boudicca

[Caius Fabius]

Back to Boudicca...
what makes you think she was really 'in charge' by the end game? She had raised her
warriors and the people of her tribe, then some other groups joined, then they went
rampaging, looting and burning, and more joined, and brought the wife and kids to see
the fun, then more looting, etc. then more joined (hey they didn't have TV and this looks
like fun and you might find a silver coin or two)...
By the time
they faced the Legions for their final battle, how many unrelated groups, and warbands
were involved? How many were still using Boudicca for a war leader? Maybe a figurehead,
but .... I have doubts she was 'in charge' of the Briton horde by then. I suspect it was more
like she was riding lead in a stampede and had to go along for the ride. :wink:

It's all very well to start a wildfire, but controlling it,.... that's something completely different.
