Question: 1 / 400

Who was the tribal leader who fought against the Romans?

Boudicca

Boudicca was indeed the tribal leader who led a significant uprising against the Roman occupation of Britain around AD 60-61. She was the queen of the Iceni tribe and is renowned for her fierce resistance to Roman rule. After the death of her husband, who had been an ally of the Romans, Boudicca sought to reclaim her tribe's rights and retaliate against Roman injustices. Her revolt is notable for the destruction of several Roman settlements, including the sacking of Londinium (now London) and other communities.

In contrast, Alfred the Great was a King of Wessex known for his defense against Viking invasions in the late 9th century, which was much later than Boudicca's time. King Arthur is a legendary figure associated with the early medieval period, but there is no solid historical evidence to confirm his existence or involvement in a conflict against Romans. Julius Caesar, also known for his conquest of Britain, was a Roman leader himself and was involved in military campaigns rather than opposing them. Thus, Boudicca stands out as the correct answer for her role in resisting Roman control during the early history of Britain.
