Boudicca's Childhood:

  • Her parents passed away from contracting smallpox. This left Boudicca as an orphan. Her older sister looked after her until the royal family adopted them. 
  • Boudicca was 7 at the time. She lived with the royal family until she 14. 
  • She was taught how to fight with a sword, shield and spear. She learnt horseback riding at a young age. 
These facts have been useful because I've learnt about Boudicca's upbringing and how it made her the woman she was. I am going to consider this research when deciding what narrative I want to tell about Boudicca.
