Before the vote of stuff, you mustn't Ezra glasses, brought to you by Katy, keen I love Riverdale. So I'm really excited that the creator of Riverdale has a sparkling adventure in the big apple coming out, full of fashion drama in dreams colliding with real life, Thursday February six at eight seven central, it's the new Sea, W serious Katy, keen the big apple, better watch out, no matter who or what gets in the way the four friends we were part of the shower about to take a big old by they take on the runway, the recording studio, Broadway and the social seen there's so much high style has a new name: Katy keen the fashionable new series, premiers February six on the seat of EU or streams free the next day. Only on the seat of you up, I don't think America has ever gone back to the way that it was before introducing a sniper. The gunman most likely assailed marksmen fired six times in the course of sixteen hours. The police say they have never had a crime. Quite like this. It is quite a mystery and then, as the tissue sniper case, unfolded that terror boldly Ruth. This was the most intense

Hunt in american law enforcement, history, listen to monster DC, sniper, on the eye hard radioactive apple podcast, or wherever you get your pockets. Welcome to stuff. You missed in history class from Housetop works, dot, com Hello and welcome to the podcast I'm going to check reporting and I'm very jolly and if you know the myth of the Amazon women that rape of women warriors, it's probably in connection with Hercules. Laborers His ninth labour, the famous strong man, is ordered to bring back the girdle of apologia. The queen Amazon's yeah and even Hercules. No that he's not gonna be able to handle the women alone, and so he brings friends along as back up for

mission in it? It's lucky for him. He does, but that's a pretty serious reputation. I mean I know it's the legend, but still with the theories reputation, and it makes sense, though, considering that in greek myth, the Amazon swear, author believed to be descended from areas. The God of war and areas even gave her politics that stolen girl at all. But there are stories about where this race of women came from and most of them have the women living in what is today, Turkey, but probably there more famous for the stories about their their fighting in the things they would do to themselves and the things they do either as a group yell at US Lee true. I think that everyone thinks of them is force to be reckoned with, and their name actually indicates that I think their name came from a greek word. That means Breastless. Since legend had them cutting off are burning their right, press and youth so that they could handle a bow easier, pretty

stream, lengths to go to just to be able to use a weapon that they and the bow wasn't the only weapon they use. They also carried swords and double sided axes. Yeah to ensure a constant supply of new warriors, because they were, of course, that all women group they'd couple up with near pay, man or or male prisoners and raise the girl baby. That's Amazon's and either kill or name the boys or raise them as servants or return them to their fathers. Pearly them of course, but of course, the Amazon women of greek Legend or mythical, even if there may have been some female fighters who existed but for lay the ladys of our past are not mythical. They did very much exist and we're gonna be talking about several of them today from around the world, and some of them may we'd be ones that you suggested are told us about. We have mentioned this on previous podcast, deepest

way of doing this lesson. So we ve been excited about it for a while and solicited some nominations on Facebook and of our relic big blow out form. Since history month are big celebration, even though we should we should mention before we start. We don't wish to glamorized violence. No we're gonna talk about some really too Cool Ladys, who did some kind of violence, sometimes care both names, really not so great things, and so definitely no Condoning this behaviour origin celebrating women and looking a little more into the history of some of these women that a lot of there's not really a lot of did it information out there about some of them, so we had to dig take some up yeah, but we're gonna start off in pan with a lady, is probably one of the few true female samurai in japanese history than at the very least one of the most famous yes name as in the corner to cocoa her most,

the well known warrior and counter took place during Japan's pushing civil war in eighteen. Sixty eight now, during this period, Japan was engulfed and battles between supporters of the old took a guy sugar regime, which was them Terry Sal government and the newly established imperial government, and I think, we're all pretty familiar with the idea samurai re kitty, and I haven't heard at the third on family I and the roan, and if you wanna, go refresh your memory the little bed. Yet it was the warrior class up to this point and most of the time, they at least had to know the basics, and this was too yeah right who wrote about female combatants of this time for the Journal war in history. She says that and of the warrior class an issue which is the domain that Mokanna was from were actually expected to learn from hand to hand, combat skills themselves, It will be at least had to know the basics, and this was to quote protect their war. And prevent their families from being dishonoured. So they weren't just week what

hiding in the household every time someone a threat came here button. The council took a step beyond that. She definitely got a little bit more than the basic just born in eighteen, forty seven and she was adopted our two ACCA yoga, Hyena, Sergei who was a man. Stir of martial arts and calligraphy too, and he taught halberd skills to the lady of the domain. Who was the Lord of the domains adopted sister kind of the chief noble woman in the in the area, and he also try? Kano and twenty other girls in combat technique, Phil just to give you idea about what the harbor it is too late. This is serious. Combat techniques hovered as the along staff with I think an ax had attached to it, You have to be very strong and very agile too, to manage it. Yeah. You deathly, wouldn't want to see one of these coming out you. So if you are fighting with one, you meant business and these schemes

but these girls really using really came in handy around the time that we're talking about when imperial forces invaded I e zoo in late, fall. Eighteen, sixty eight so by October, eighth, duration had gotten so bad for warrior. Family members that the official Watch Bell sounded and this prompted women of the wire class to do one of the few things one was mass suicide they didn't want to. Taken alive. They didn't want to fight, so they decided to kill themselves rather than face this terrible fate where they could decide without right. They could make the decision themselves The other option was withdrawing within Crane Castle, which was a pretty fortified castle, and they could help out with a defence there, so they could help defend our community. But what Kano did was the last option, which was to take part and direct combat, so she became If what was known as the judge, she gone, which was an ad hoc Vaughan, here, platoon organised by women, of warrior families and had about twice

the thirty women. This is what historians thank and an economy. Mom was the leader, but right says that an economy to take over. Actually the driving force of the group. These women are sort of they dressed in men's clothing. They cut their hair, so they had the appearance of young men here, and so this group of women heard that the lady of the domain taro human had been taken to oppose station to the north the visa. So they decided they were gonna, go rescue her go to her aid and once they were they are they got their later that same night. They asked permission. The commander of the Belgrade that, with their They could join, has, of course, all meal forces. He refused, though he said that. Well you and are of course well equipped in your impressive looking back

you were embarrassed furthest. Essentially, if our enemy thought either women participating in combat, they might take it as a sign of weakness, though he refuses them yeah, they're kind of up about this about they ve learned that the lady of the domain is probably back at the castle at this point: she's, not there, the power station, so they sort of agree to hang out for a night by them. Stay though they are given audience with another commander at two Kokoo police station, and he also rejects them, although he's very impressed by them as well, and he decides that they should go kicker as the leader of that squad, so they're allowed to fight, and I get to you, trip of soldiers, but the commander troop who was actually charged escorted them back to the castle? He says: ok, No, you guys can be an actual unit. He designate the women as a separate squad and the Connecticut

as the leader of that squad, so they're allowed to fight and get to do a fortune are changing and their chance to fight comes really soon intact. It comes the next day on October. Tenth imperial forces had position themselves at you know bridge, which was basically along the road between the power station in the car the road they were taking de. I use your troops came at the imperial forces from three five, though they were mixed with the man's group at this point, and they they split to men's divisions coming at the sides. The woman squire was part of the one that tat the enemy had on together with the men mixed in as well, but most of the women were all of the women. In fact, for part of this group that was taken him had on in there goal was to sort of straw suddenly and breaks through the enemies forces, rather than trying to engage them in a long battle because they knew they probably didn't, have great chances there, since the imperial Army had better weapons

a dead and they just want to get back to castle to their. Doesn't it actually defend it right but combat did to evolve into hand to hand battle and one. Puerile army, determine that they were fighting women. They started to spread the word and try that they should try take the women alive, and that was As we mentioned, the one thing the women actually did not want this, for a lot of reasons. I think that they just had no illusions about their fate if they were to be captured and they were afraid that they would be sold to quote Occidental so after the West somewhere, and they just didn't want them happen. They wanted to decide their own fate, so they charge directly into the fire yeah. Many think they perform pretty. Well, I mean, of course it was. It was brave to make this direct charge, but they also took me It's the enemy troops, killing five or six with her harboured, but she was there. Chalais shot through the chest. At the height of that battle, yeah her little sister

the tide back here, trousers and steely eyes and she's, supposedly radio and intense male spirit and engage the enemy troops, killing five or six with her harboured. But she lies eventually shot through the chest. At the height of that battle, yeah, her little sister must go had to sever her head with, help of uneasy soldier. So this was to prevent it from becoming a true for the other side and taken back to the other side, so they rapid and a scarf and cremated it after the battle tone, gave her a little bit of honor later and, I think said, Billina have been kind of horrified by this image for mister yes. I think Moscow was about sixteen years old at this time, so having to cut off her elder sisters had that shit, This is her duty. You know to preserve her families, honour yeah. Other Amazon woman in the making, and I guess that brings us to next and tree, and are less we're gonna.

Continents entirely and talk about one of the famous female pirates of all time, grace Amali, talked about another pirate lady a few weeks ago in another podcast chunky sow and this law gray. So Mally is actually known to many, as the pirate queen of Ireland so kind of has her own little nickname, she's, also known, sometimes use you might see her named as grown yeah. Her irish name either way grace. Emily was born around fifteen thirty. Her father was chieftain of the oh Molly clan. So around this time there really wasn't a central government. Instead, there were about sixty clans, which were old individually by chieftains, and they, as you my guest,

settled most disagreements at that time, over land or whatever it was through clan warfare. Contentious times, though, the oh Molly Clan controlled a large part of the western coast of Ireland and the only a large fleet of ship, and initially they had a legit living going on. They traded with other countries, and we know made made money in an honest way, but eventually merchants in Galway Band clans who lived outside the city from training there, though our money and out of work so to compensate the malaise started to charge a total to all the ship that entered a bay. That was one of the popular it's too Galway felt if you couldn't pay the tall too bad for you. Ship would get plundered, though, Non, negotiable and grateful Molly was obvious, interested in joining the family business you about it. Her dad as many dad would he refused and maybe

keenly said to her. No, your long hair is gonna, get ten tangled in the ship's robe, so she cut her hair off and that she became known by probably a famous nickname, grace the bald after that hurt gave in and let her join his little pirate team that he had going you're in sheep the very able pirate of thought she could read currents and tied from the whether she was good and on board the ship. She could manage the failed and anchors and navigate, and she was she was good at the I really work too. She could read cargo and help defend her clan shores, though she proved be a very able member of the family clan. She did give it up briefly right. She gave it up when she married Donald clarity, who is chieftain of the authority clan and she married him and fifteen forty six and became a mother to three of his children. Oh fleered, he was an interesting character and himself. He was his clear

was enemies with another clan called the Joyce clan and they gave him the nickname, Donal. The cock and his castle therefore was known as Cox, castle so after Donald Eyes, in fifteen sixty while battling the Joyce clan rejoices immediately try to overpower grace, but she surprise them by fighting back. She successfully defends her property, help of her followers and just an example of the ingenuity she uses in her battling she Herman, dismantle the castle towers, led roof melted down and pour it on her attackers. Pretty scary gap again. Don't try this at home in the castle and became known ass hands castle. So Definitely a shift in who's in charge railway letting everybody now so the authorities were definitely impressed by gray successfully defending the castle, and she really prove by don't say that she could fight. Not only

see about on land as well and by the fifteen. Seventy she was directing a fourth of hundreds of men in both types of battle, though it was her full time business. By this point, when her father died, I became even bigger. She inherited his fleet and for a while was the Amali clans new chieftain too, but she also participated in political staff as well, she fought the English to your dynasties encroachment into Ireland, which ended up being her downfall. She was arrested on multiple occasions and her fleets were rated she eventually petitioned Queen Elizabeth, the first directly for some support which she received, but her business was closely monitored after that, and she ended up dying, impoverished and her early seventies here, but interesting that relationship with Queen Elizabeth why we know so much about grace today, because the queen got grace to fill out a document

eighteen articles of interrogatory and she had to answer all these questions about her marriages- are children, are properties and put down on paper enough? Why we know so much about grace the ball today? Fortunately, yeah thanks Queen Elizabeth Ex group of women were going to talk about, didn't, have a very clear cut survey like that for us to go off of the day Sarah here, because the other entries on the left so far have been individuals. Women who took up arms for personal reasons, this group of women they were actually an army. Is there we're gonna, treat them as such and not focused on any specific people They were an army, though they weren't a last resort. They weren't these accidental warriors, they were chosen and they were trained and they were deployed as any army would be felt there. Really, a stand alone group for this past, though there making them in West Africa needed

they trained warriors for for many reasons. Everybody needs a group of highly trained warriors like us, but in part it was its own actions, the king, with launch annual raids slave raid fun by areas and by the captured prisoners and seldom to european slave trader. So obviously that didn't win many neighbourhood Fred. No, not at all that the women actually the warrior women they weren't a ridge He sat up to defend the kingdom. They were originally formed, as a group of elephant hunters is actually which was the prize. Yeah were trained guards and warriors after that. Yet the women were drafted from non to home slave. Then, therefore, they were considered very reliable and trustworthy because they didn't have tribal connections and families like them the men, the male recruits my so they think

you couldn't, you can rely on you're, you're, Dahomey and women forth, but by eighteen. Fifty a king named gives, though, shook up this process of selecting the trip. Little bat and he made it kind of a draft almost every three years: families with prison, their daughters to a Royal board, and the prettiest of the young women would enter the harem and the strongest would enter the service and thumb where actually not selected. This way that, but they were in over by their husbands, for being unruly or something that, if the husbands couldn't handle them, they would perhaps recommended to the king or more likely complain about them to the king and the king would take them into the elite. Fighting group really put say difference they got a lot more privileges worth eighteen Eightys, the Dahomey women became a political power as well, since their officers were noble. Woman thought we're gonna talk,

they're about life as one of these Dahomey women. It was a major step up from from the average life of a woman in the kingdom a lot more privileges on a lot wareth backed, but they were sworn to solving an interesting point there. If they were exceptionally brave, they might be able to make a match marry a nobleman after they retired. Essentially, though, you couldn't, there was of social, rising, potentially fewer an exceptional warrior, they trained rigorously. Eventually, they fought alongside the Royal Guard as the Kingdom Standing Army, so along with the men too, and there were about four thousand five hundred men and women together beyond and eventually got to be, even more than that they were often notorious for their violence. They were known to torture and mutilate people who they had killed, and they were also well

for their marksmanship by the eighteen, forty, according to an article by Geoffrey Skelton and military history, they could load and fire a flintlock musket in thirty seconds, while their their male counterparts. Where said to take fifty seconds some agility going on America. Yeah Liddy and some fashion tier they quite cut quite a figure, I would say they wore white with blue crocodile badges on their hats, which, when I saw a photo of this terrorist, sent me an image of it, and I think it looked like bows initially so surprised to find out who they were conveyed. Badges. We should mention the picture I sent to bleed. I was then a great however, women actually holding decapitated head to into Billina. I think you said, if he's wearing a lot, please bear and her head of this average still much more disturbing indefinitely. The NATO was a crocodile badge now and now the minutes a little more fitting. Maybe I don't know you decide that there

little style change. If they were elephant hunters also, they got to where antelope warrants the whole head. Dress made out of analogue points, and I would have been scary to, I would say: thou bet in eighteen, ninety one with its gonna, give you a good idea of where they looked like. They were too in three months in captivity into homey like this there they are without them warriors the four thousand black versions of Dahomey, the monarchs bodyguard motionless in their war garments, with a gun and knife in hand ready to leap forward at the masters signal old or young uglier, beautiful their wonderful to look at their as well bill. As the male warriors and their attitude is just as disciplined incorrect lined up as though against a rope with the description like that is no wonder that they became known as Amazon's, and it was actually the French who took to calling them Amazon's, originally right, gaff. Yet it was the French a kind of

school that I'm right and ninety two, when colonial forces thought up to four thousand Amazon's in the jungle, several fights took place, in which these Amazon supposedly had been driven into a frenzy by english gin of all things and continue to fight even after being bayoneted with their hands feet and teeth yeah, for they just didn't quiet ultimately, the French prevailed and took Dahomey, which is today part of benzene, but the infantry they were disbanded they didn't totally go away at. Obviously, there troopers display but the women themselves are still around and I found postcards from long after the fact Armenia is ladys than eighteen twenties of pictures of the the man eater, obviously middle aged by this point, but also still kind of scary, looking in tough two opposing, and I think they visited at one point to show off their fighting skills with

with some of the male warriors as well, so very trains and I'd say for this group of elite fighting women who existed for centuries. We ask becoming a novelty conveniently our next subject off, though, did become somewhat of a novelty self later in life near maybe not through postcards through postcards fate, that long after a very adventurous, very impressive military career. Yes, our next subject is cut You know I d arose so who is also known as the Lieutenant none and she has been frequently requested by listeners. I think we ve gotten at least two or three requests just in the past couple of months, when I've been working on, Caston one That was a very interesting. It was from a list named Mercier in California, and she suggested. Actually, she begged

to do a pod cast on this topic and said that she would make a deal with us right. Sarah, she did it with an offer. We couldn't refuse yeah. She said that she would, as a professor in California, she would have her students do a pod, castile research project in exchange for us doing a pie cast uncut winner. So here you go. I hope it. I hope it's still can even though she is part of a le, even though she is part of a less will still cover a lot of details about her, and hopefully your students will thank us of labour have fun with their project. To go ahead and get into her life. She was born in San Sebastian in Northern Spain on February tenth fifteen. Ninety two and right off the we have sort of questionable eight there, because in her autobiography, I think she lists four year, she less fifteen eighty five fifteen. Ninety two is the recorded year of her baptism so right, we can see that some of the details throughout this are gonna, be kind of sketchy. Eight commander I'll, keep it in mind. So so

they were family, was middle class. Others say that her family was pretty wealthy, which is probably more accurately the case which will see later on that their way. Catalina ended up in a dominican convent at about age for along with three of her sisters and her forever, there is, on the other hand, headed off to join the spanish military in the Americas, but you could help pretty early on that. Catalina would have, rather than doing what her brothers were doing in going off to the Americas. She's supposedly wanted to quote travelling through the world, though she escaped from that around sixteen o three and again that date, found the little weird depending on when you calculate her birth from that just assume was around fifteen years old. At the time she here she made these managed looking clothes for herself, cutting up a balloon skirt in order to create a pair of breaches and example of processing. I knew it keeps coming up in the in the apathy recently, but she apparently past

pretty well, and she had heard her new pan, yes was really effective after she made these changes in passing ass, a man, and I think we should stop here to reflect on the fact that this except maybe a little different from some of the other women on this list and some of the other women we ve talked about recently in that she lived her life, which are going to discuss it in a minute as a man, so yeah when dealing with some of the adversities, for instance, I was dealing with men not wanting to fight with her, because Haiti just thought she was another guy Yeah, and I mean I think that that was So even to the point that when you read about our nowadays and you're talking about her years as a man, many people will use a male personal pronoun to describe her. But you ll notice that we using she alot throughout this podcast us, because we try to keep it consistent, but just a little explanation for that, so she's passing as a man, she stays pain for more than about three years after that wandering around serving around.

If master is just doing jobs here and there, then she set out for the America's where, he travels around a bird eventually heads to Peru, where she joins the spanish military, so helping them in his crown in its efforts to colonise the Americas, and she did that for about fifteen years and cheese her name at this point to yet she is Antonia Ramirez Douglas Man, a brave soldiers the colonial army. That's how she's known the battle in Chile, though fighting their economy, Indians and which Catalina then known as Antonio, was promoted to lieutenant. She risks her life in this battle to recover a royal flag and she d I'm going after it right into the enemy Maud, along with two other soldiers who are on her side, and they were killed in the process. She herself took three arrows and a spear, but still survive to be promoted, and even after that military glory, though she wasn't made permanent commander of the company, because she huh

and our economy chief when she was supposed to take him alive, and so that brings to another side of Catalina. She was a blood thirsty, can keep the door enemy can kiss, Our I already have a reputation for that. She would gambler, she had a quick temper. She took part in a lot of dual, and sometimes she killed her opponents in them. Sometimes she ended, in prison and she had always find a way out always found a way to escape punishment and one of her strategies. Strangely and was to hide and churches, Canada throw back to her time. The class. I am so. She knew the ends and also because I only on one- occasions is when she confessed her biological sacksful. She confessed to a friar who then told the ship in the area. So the secret is out at this point after that she spent couple years and a convent lemme where she has

start wearing female attire again until finally, she sent back to Spain and sixteen twenty four for an audience with Philip, the fourth and he actually rewards her for her many years of service with a pension and the right to continue my wearing MEL attire. So she kind of pleads her to have both from afar and in person, and he he agrees that she deserves this. Then she goes to see the pope and he says that she can keep seems like a man took as are I, don't you? Imagine the Pope being okay with that, while she did remain a virgin and I'll have my own apparently thou it's kind of crucial as the air that we breathe thing that made it legitimate that she had been dressing like a man and fighting alongside man for for so long yeah. I think that we were discussing a little button. A lot of people who cross dress have been thought of over the years. Is sexual deviants and away, but you prove that she wasn't. I think when she was back and South American all of this first, to come out. The bishop,

actually had her examined by a couple of nuns and she was found to be a virgin yeah. I mean it off. It didn't hurt that she did have decent family connection. That part her family was well off. That was another point in her favour, for being allowed to continue living that was quite different from the standards of the time again. I think that is a point that she made to the king also when she was kind of pleading her her case and- and I think, as we before about her becoming a novelty. That was an aspect of it too. She wasn't really viewed as a man or a woman. She was some kind of hybrid nobody knew ass. They were ass. She became very popular in that. Act no like to invite her places, and she was well thought out. The time, or at least interesting, yeah and sheep. She runs with that she right than autobiography between sixteen twenty five and sixteen thirty. Knowing that people wanted to hear her son, hurry and in

seen thirty. She also move back to the Americas and died about twenty years later in Mexico. Having learned very impressive, is very strange land yeah she's an interesting character because she was one who you know like we were talking about. It begin the past, definitely can't say she was always a likeable character, but she was just a fascinating arrests. Yes, there are fine entry for this list is also a lady. You cholera on the one hand and is kind of terrifying and murderous? On the other hand, and she is one of the most popularly request said topics, especially for this theory, Women warriors, I think summit. Then read on Twitter recently when Are you gonna do a par cast on Buddha,

Subject, the Buddha is Britain's original Queen Victoria, because bitter means victory and she's regarded as something of a national hero, but the comparison between, two queens. Definitely unfair Buddha was not starting, wedding traditions or Christmas tradition. Obviously she without is defying romance instead different kind of reputation entirely. Yes, it It should say so. In her background is also pretty hazy, but here is what we now she was around eighty, twenty five and chaotic Britain to a royal family. She eventually married pursued a guess who was probably her cousin, who became king or the elected chief of the scene I tribe so Bhutto's. In a kind of and her husband is on ok terms with Rome. That is. Roman leadership, betrays the family and the tribe, but we're gonna go back. A little bit before that and give you the floor,

ground on what was going on with the Romans in Britain at this time and even a hundred years before that's when they had gotten mirror and interestingly b I feed I Budapest, tribe had been one of the first to welcome Caesar and fifty five and fifty four b c, but the first stage of a roman contact wasn't that bad. It was more about establishing trade and it proved to be quite profitable for some of the tribes that participated of sea. Laughed and said of the roman military and if it wasn't colonized ruler or anything like that, but things changed in forty an aid you, when our old friend Emperor Claudia you he's another one, you always pops up in random at the third. He decided that pretend I would make a really nice addition to his empire and he was he was specially thinking this cause. He had some prove you now, he he needed

his name and getting Britannia as a colony would be a really good way to do it. Yet it seems like he's gonna get that fairly smoothly. In the beginning, the Romans invade annie- I seen I, along with ten other british tribes, offer their formal submission to him. Yet probably thinking well, maybe it'll be like last time and will submit, will stop trade relations and the Roman will go back home, not them. No that's not. It all happened this time. The Romans don't leave, they stay and they set up what you're says. They also install governor, and they order to surrender their weapons, which is the first big thing. You're the Athena are not ok with this at all. They were a bell at this point. There defeated and precipitous Budapest husband is installed as their new king, though he had not been the ruler up until this point. This is why we said beyond that preceded curse Buddha

and Rome had an ok relationship with each other. He was essentially governing as a client king, but things do not get better for the british the governor establishes a colonial for retired legionnaires, which is just a hotbed for violence and terror Oh, it's best to be a model roman fellow man, but that is not the case and of course they thought, though, eating up a lan too and then the new emperor, Nero commissions, a temple to his uncle Claudius and has its financial officer Britain CALL debts issued as grants, so getting more money. Man travel the british year end in sixty wine, the new governor of Britain, a guy named so twentieth, Paulina decimate this Druid stronghold at the Isle of Mona, which is defended just to give you an idea of what the Romans were up again defended by quote black robe with

with dishevelled hair like furies, brandishing torches, druids, raising their hands to Heaven and screaming dreadful, cursive, pretty scary stuff, but the Roma, and up winning and after the victory they cut down the island sacred groves, though a real slap in the face to the Bretons Budapest. Beef starts. After all of this, in it it's Oh yeah starts after her husband eyes and leaves half of his estate to the emperor Nero and have to his daughters, and you said SARA that this is mostly a symbolic ray, I mean he was. It was the last it's kind of effort for him. He knew he was a kid. King. He ruled out the pleasure of em her Nero, but he was hoping that by making a goodwill gesture he might be able to secure- a little bit of his fortune for his wife and his two daughters. It does not work, though it completely backfire

No, the roman financial officer doesn't honour the will. His estate is seized, preceded us as a state that is Buddha. As flogged and her daughters are raped. So ludicrous pretty unhappy. About the situation and she starts gathering other angry tribes, many of which have been secretly hoarding then all the while so before. Go any further. Just to give you a little description of Buddha, she is described much later in a much later account as being very all and grim and appearance. With a piercing gaze and a harsh voice. She had a man a very fair hair, which she grew down to her hips and wore a great gold, torque and multicolor tunic for around her over which was a thick cloak fastened, with a brooch yeah so and impact thing figure and a note to Ladys, don't normally where torques, which her giant gold neck with this, but Buddha does so. The first strike is key

laudanum, which is the roman capital in Britain, and they don't charge right in they have people on the inside, presumably Britain fewer but who are living and working there. His sort of sat the state by working out the superstitious Romans and eighty that by making the statue victory fall, looks like it's been running out of the settlement and just gas thing to you. No talking about, I thought, arise. Phantom settlement in the mouth of the term than women acting is directly in talking about destruction and just getting everybody sort of on edge before the attack come if they really need to have that little intro pre scare, going on Buddhas Army creches the town they destroy the Temple and they kill everybody and argue

ethical evidence even supports that this destruction actually occur. There are signs of the clay wall that have been found that were essentially fired and hardened by he didn't mean it was a mud wall, and now it's like a pottery, while that kind of both my mind, but there are levels of ash everywhere, total destruction to play. Though, after that they took out the infantry of the ninth Legion, just sort of pretty quickly the cavalry managed to escape and from there they moved on to lend any on which, at this point, the holy about fifteen years old, and it unwalled the Romans were feeling pretty cocky about it. I guess and governors Tony S, whose then are fighting those druids and Mona has just now. Turned and he realized tat. The town can't be defended, though he orders, actuated a lot of the women and the elderly stay behind, and basically everyone who does state

and is slaughtered by political, angry Breton? and this is what we met before about. We can't Don't you have reported on this podcast get that's that's pretty bad, but from their she just seagoing and then move on to another town which had close association with Rome and once again, total destruction there punished for their association. But finally, four Tonia meets Buddha with the fourteenth and the twentieth, or at least part of the twentieth Legion and this time He chooses the ground and invites they attack and the rest, very severely outnumbered ten thousand to boot as two hundred and thirty thousand, but they are there are trained and they have a little more military expertise. This, after all, is not just coming into unwell lending, em and killing. Everyone, though boot occurs troops chalk

and they are immediately showered with Javelin fulfilling that happens a lot in a lot of you. While we talk about a shower Evelyn and everything you want to see the brits chariots don't prove very useful, because there is a very tight and their long, swords are a good either because they are fighting in close quarters. The Romans have much shorter sword, fur easier to to navigate, and this crap quarter and the other problem is when they move to retreat after they realize oh no were in. This were actually yeah. They realise that their walked by their own wagons, which live bra, along with them, so their women folk could watch Thea. The slaughter and Buddha herself arrived in a chariot with her two daughters, though this was really this lessons, battle where, although the men folk went off to fight it

it's kind of a family affair, and I guess they were. They were feeling pretty com going into it with such strong numbers, but in and eighty thousand breadth die, and only four hundred roman boots manages to escape somehow she dies of poison, potentially poison herself soon afterwards, but she's, given a lavish funeral she's treated the hero in a queen and all said and done. It seems like about Ten thousand roman troops were killed during the course of the rebellion and a remarkable seventy, then civilians were killed in the city, so pretty big damage from Buddha yeah. I know the rebellion was followed by heavy roman suppression, violence, famine, Britain, we became one of the more orderly roman colonies, so nothing
