Boudicca - In Search of the Defile

Bag om Boudicca - In Search of the Defile

Has Boudicca's battle site finally been found? In AD 61 Queen Boudicca led an army of over 100,000 that revolted against Rome and ransacked Camulodunum (Colchester) Londinium (London) and Verulamium (St Albans) killing everyone in their path. Thousands of people were said to have been slaughtered before her vast army was stopped by General Suetonius Paulinus and his legions. Peter takes a look at the many battle site suggestions and argues that the battle could not possibly have occurred in the midlands as some scholars suggest and argues that the battle must have taken place near to Verulamium. (St Albans) Peter Sweeney argues that the battle almost certainly took place on the Dunstable Downs in Bedfordshire, at the crossroads where Watling Street meets with the Icknield Way and just 12 miles from St Albans. In his concise book Peter opens up an interesting debate as to whether this is the actual battle field or not and invites an organised archaeological dig to be carried out to ascertain if it is indeed the place of the battle.
