I'm Boudicca

I shivered snuggling into the blanket that enveloped me. Why was it so cold it wasn't supposed to be this cold in Atlanta. I completely abandoned my thoughts when I felt a strong arm rap around me. What the hell was this I was fourteen I wasn't supposed to be in bed with anyone let alone someone of my own sex.
While trapped under some man I had time to look around. First of all this was not my house I was in some kind of wooden house. The room was a simple affair having a corner for clothes and another corner for weapons. The room looked like something from the movie "Boudica". After a few more minutes of being trapped under some man I was finally rescued by an older women coming in and waking up the big man.
The man seemed startled at first but quickly recovered and got out of bed. This is when I realized we were both but naked. The old women quickly bowed saying "your majesty's you commanded me to wake you before the sunrise". The man nodded going to get some clothes while the old hag dragged me out of bed.
The man suddenly spoke saying "Boudica my love my queen it is time to go out and face the Iceni people". I was caught completely off gaurd I had not been paying attention earlier but I knew my name was not Boudica nor was I a queen. I also when I realized I had female parts not my usual male ones. I quickly mumbled "yes my love" not knowing what the hell was going on.
I looked at the clothes that I assume were mine and decided to ware a light red dress with a green cloak of wool and a braclet on each arm. The man I assume was my husband led us out of the small house. While walking I had time to think if I was a queen of the Iceni and named Boudica. It must mean that somehow I was transported into someone else's body.
As we walked out into the town square I quickly saw that roman soldiers lined the walls. I quickly turned white what were romans doing here. The man gripped my arm tightly saying "we must look strong even if we are scared". I quickly composed myself afraid that this man would hurt me.
The man and myself entered the building the structure was already packed with people. The man and me were quickly taken to the foot of two thrones and told to kneel. I got on my knees the man not far behind me.
What looked like a Druid priest spoke up "people of the Iceni kingdom we are gathered here today so that we may revive the vows of our new king and Queen. So that we can let them take there place as the protectors of the people. Prasutugas and Boudica do you swear to uphold the laws of our patron goddess Andrasta"
We both replied "I do solemnly swear to uphold the laws of our patron goddess ". The priest continued do you promise to defend the tribe with your life till the day you die. Once again we both replied "I promise to defened the tribe with all my might until the day I die".
The priest smiled saying "I present the new king and queen of the Iceni". There was thunderous applause as Prasutugas the man who was suppose to be my husband led me to the throne. All the while people were screaming "hail to the Iceni".

Yeah sorry about the grammar I'm going to find a grammar checker also sorry if dialogue felt to flat but I felt keeping it realistic was more important I mean just waking up as a Celtic queen would make me not very interested in talking but dialogue will pick up in the coming updates.
Thanks for commenting

Seems like it could be interesting. Plus, depending on how you want to deal with the more mythological histories, whether they are completely real, just kernels of truth or completely false, there are a bunch of heroes you could pick up with some work.
Prasutugas a client king but a war king as well

Prasutugas and myself sat on the two thrones for the longest time receiving the noble warriors. I read in a book called "Boudicca's world" so I had a pretty good grip of the political system. While the king may be crowned king he had to get the approval of the noble class to actually be king. If a noble said that the king was unworthy to rule they would have a fight if the noble won there would be a sort of vote of no confidence. But if the king won the noble would retract his complaint and say the king was worthy to rule.
That was how the Iceni chose there king the previous king picked the successor and once the new king was crowned he had to get the nobles approval to rule. But the king had limited power the important decisions were made by a council of free men.
As I was listening to the pledges of loyalty the next man came up and said "I have no confidence in this puppet kings rule". I was stunned absolutely stunned but my or Boudicca's husband was not. Prasutugas hollered "THEN LET US FIGHT!"
Prasutugas grabbed my hand and escorted me outside while the foolish noble and the rest of the noble class trailed behind us. The offender and I suppose my husband quickly grabbed swords. I don't know much about sword fighting but there were several parrys and counter attacks. In the end though Prasutugas emerged victorious the rebellious noble shamed in front of all of the Iceni noble class.
