  1. The house of windsor is the house of Saxe-Coeburg de Gotha and came from germany to england to rule after Queen Victoria maried into it, and produced an Heir by Prince Albert. So no, Queen Bodicea, almost definately isnt counted in the windosr family tree.


  2. In a word no..... the Romans saw to that

  3. Tacitus doesn't give the names, ages, or fate of Boudicca's daughters, nor is the site of her battle against the Romans known.  Archaeologists, however, estimate that it took place in the West Midlands, somewhere along Watling Street.  

    The Iceni lived in Norfolk.  Curiously enough, the mother of Diana, Princess of Wales, Frances Ruth Burke Roche, was born at the Royal Estate in Sandringham, Norfolk, where her mother was a lady-in-waiting to the Queen Mum.   Perhaps Norfolk natives Edith Cavell, Horatio Nelson, or Robert Walpole are the descendants of the long-gone tribe, but Boudicca's descendants' possible prodigy are lost in the mists of history.  By 62 AD, the Iceni were fully incorporated within the Roman provincial government's infrastructure.

  4. No. The House of Windsor is apart of the older branch of the Saxe-Coburg and Gotha line of the House of Wettin. The House of Wettin was a dynasty of German counts, dukes, prince-electors (Kurfürsten) and kings that ruled the area of today's German states of Saxony, the Saxon part of Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia for more than 800 years as well as holding at times the kingship of Poland. Agnates of the House of Wettin have, at various times, ascended the thrones of Great Britain, Portugal, Bulgaria, Poland, Saxony, and Belgium; of these, only the British and Belgian lines retain their thrones today.

    Note: The oldest member of the House of Wettin who is known for certain was Thiedericus (died 982), who was probably based in the Liesgau (located at the western edge of the Harz). Around 1000, as part of the German conquest of Slavic territory, the family acquired Wettin Castle, after which they named themselves. Wettin Castle is located in Wettin in the Hosgau on the Saale River.
