William Wallace came up a cropper in the end as well...

But at least he inspired the Scots to unite, and ultimately to succeed in establishing Scottish independence. Boudica did nothing more than rouse some rabble to pillage a village, then get exterminated when the Romans had had their fill of her.

You don’t know the h*ll what you are talking about. I’ll take Paul Johnson’s word and those from primary sources way faster than I would a guy who’s blowing a lot of hot air. Methinks I smell a bit of a mysoginist, not wanting to give a woman credit for anything other than hearth and kinder. You know, the old a woman’s place is in the home rap. If she did half of what they say, she was pretty damn heroic against all odds. Why don’t you go back to browbeating your wife, that’s if anyone would have even considered marrying you in the first place.
