Enya - Boadicea
Sunday, May 14th, 2006Enya’s Boadicea has been sampled in Ready or Not by the Fugees and just recently by Mario Winans in I Don’t Wanna Know. I’m not entirely sure what the inspiration behind the song is, but world history does tell of a Queen Boadicea of Norfolk (Eastern Britain) who led a major uprising against the occupying forces of the Roman Empire. Upon the death of her husband Prasutagus (circa 60), the Romans annexed his kingdom and brutally humiliated Boadicea and her daughters, spurring her leadership of the revolt.
