Ambush of the XI Legion by Brian Palmer
Driven by revenge for the brutal treatment she had suffered at the
hands of the Romans, Queen Boadicea led the Iceni and her allies the
Trinovantas in open revolt. The IX Legion Hispania was despatched to
suppress the insurrection but were ambushed en route. Only the commander
Petilius Cerealis, and a handful of cavalry escaped.
