Queens of Infamy: Boudicca
From the notorious to the half-forgotten, Queens of Infamy,
a Longreads series by Anne Thériault, focuses on world-historical women of centuries past.
She was tall terrifyingly large, in fact. Her tawny hair fell in a “great mass” to her hips. She was dressed in a colorful tunic and cloak, her outfit completed by a giant fuck-off gold torc. Her voice was harsh, unfeminine. She had spent the last weeks murdering and maiming her way across the British countryside, and now she led a force of hundreds of thousands of Britons in a standoff against the occupying Romans. She had a rabbit hidden in her skirt for occult purposes. She was a bloodthirsty barbarian, devoted to a ghoulish religion, out to destroy the social order of the known world. At least, this is how historian Cassius Dio described Boudicca, a British tribal queen, over one hundred years after her death every civilized man’s worst nightmare.
Walking around the world is no easy task but the pupils, staff, and parents at the Enniskillen Integrated Primary School made it look easy as they raised £2,660 for Marie Curie Cancer Care. Splitting up into classes, staff, parents and an extended family and friends’ group, everyone stepped up the challenge to walk around the world with the school community walking 25,482 miles in the month of March. March coincided with Integrated Education Month when integrated schools celebrate what makes them a special place in the community but the decision to donate to Marie Curie was a poignant one. In the past 12 months, there have been four deaths to cancer within the school community, two of those parents of children.
