Alexandra Rutterford on Boudicca
Alexandra Rutterford of King Edward VII School won our Norwich and East England Heat and she spoke about her local hero: Boudicca.
Boudicca, formerly known as Boadicea and known in Welsh as "Buddug" (d. AD 60 or 61) was a queen of the Brittonic Iceni tribe of what is now known as East Anglia in England, who led an uprising of the tribes against the occupying forces of the Roman Empire.
