Boudica, Celtic Iceni Warrior Queen


Listen Later

Good evening! 


Do you like your sleep stories with a heaping side of vengeance?  If so, you're going to love Boudica, the Iceni warrior queen in Roman Britain.  


**Content warning: Nearly the entire story takes place on a battlefield and although I never give gory or disturbing details, the story does contain talk of warfare, death, and, more importantly, a mention of rape which some discussion around it. Please listen at your own discretion.
