Question

When the British warrior queen . Bleeding for the Roman rods, sought with an indignant mien counsel of the country's god

Answer 1

These lines are taken from 'Boadicea: An Ode' by William Cowper. Boadicea was a Celtic warrior queen. She led a revolt against the Roman occupation.

The Romans invaded Britain but they allowed two Celtic kings to retain some power. Boadicea's husband Prasutagus was one of them. He was given a grant by the Romans which was redefined as a loan. After Prasutagus died the Romans came to collect it. Instead of settling for half the kingdom they seized the whole kingdom and humiliated the queen and her daughters in public. So Boadicea and her army fought against the Romans.

Answer 2

The question is incomplete and vague. The requirement of the needed answer is not given. So, I am giving an assumed answer.

The given lines have been taken from the poem, 'Boadicea. An Ode', written by William Cowper. The excerpt has also been used in the book, 'Death of a Warrior Queen', by S. T. Haymon.

Boadicea, also known as Boudicca, was a great queen and a British Celtic warrior who led a revolt against the Roman occupation.

Boadicea was against the Romans who invaded Britain and took over its charge. The Romans increased their military base and made major changes which suppressed the Celtics. So, Boadicea revolted against them, but she and her family were humiliated publicly.

She went back on her revolt and later, with the help of other supporters fought and conquered Camulodunum, Londinium, and Verulamium.
