Summary edit
| Description |
English: Boudica's Way - fingerpost and plaque. Boudica's Way is a 40-mile footpath that links Norwich and the market town of Diss on the Suffolk borders. This section turns off Long Lane > 1355294leading in northerly direction past Whiteford Farm and emerging on Chandler Road, which it crosses to continue in northerly direction towards the village of Arminghall.
The name Boudica (often spelled 'Boadicea', which was the Victorian version or 'Boudicca', used by Tacitus) derives from the Celtic 'bouda' which means victory. Boudica was the wife of the Icenian king Prasutagus. When he died his kingdom was annexed by the Romans, Boudica was flogged and her daughters raped. In AD 60 or 61 Boudica led the Iceni, along with others, in revolt. They destroyed Camulodunum (Colchester) and the site of a temple to the former emperor Claudius. Boudica was defeated in the end and is reported by Tacitus to have poisoned herself. The site where she is buried is unknown. |
