    Some Kick Ass Ancient Queens

    Cartimandua

    Cartimandua was a queen of another British tribe, and contemporary of Boudica (mid-1st century CE). Unlike Boudica, Cartimandua was an ally and client-queen of the Romans. In 51 CE, she betrayed Caratacus,a ruler of another British tribe, to the Romans. Cartimandua, thus, has not been treated kindly by history. 

    Cartimandua shared rule of the tribe with her consort, Venutius. Their relationship, unfortunately, fell apart and Cartimandua took Venutius’ armor bearer, Vellocatus, as her new consort. Venutius gathered allies and attacked (55/56 CE) but Cartimandua, with the help of her Roman allies, defeated him. Patience, however, was rewarded for Venutius: in 69 CE the Romans were distracted with their own problems (this was known as the “Year of the 4 Emperors”). Venutius took advantage of this and attacked again. Cartimandua was defeated and fled, disappearing from the radar of history.
