Calling all armchair generals! Boudica's Last Stand.
Quote:Audience question “Is there any evidence of a battle at Mancetter?” reply “There is no evidence of a battle at Mancetter”.

That covers that then! :-D


Quote:the bomb shell was, maybe she was from the Brigantine Royal Household.

I think Prof. Hingley mentioned this in his book Iron Age Warrior Queen, which despite the title is still one the best books on the subject, in my opinion.


Quote:A spirited case was made in favour of the cavalry dash by Ian Dexter of the Battlefields Trust.

Lots of spirit would be required indeed to make the case at all convincing...

Meawhile, I'm glad your blur of words left the audience stunned, John, if not exactly in the way you might have hoped! A shame the forum was not more fruitful, but I suppose with so many competing views it was fated to come down to a debate on technicalities.

Thanks for passing on the details of the discussion though - much appreciated!
