Beric The Briton

In Henty’s Beric the Briton, sixteen-year-old Beric returns to his people after four years as a Roman hostage and joins his tribesmen in Boadicea’s uprising against the Romans, proving himself both courageous and sagacious in combat. The Britons are defeated, and Beric and his surviving tribesmen are eventually captured and taken to Rome to be trained as gladiators. When he subdues a lion barehanded in the arena, NerÎ appoints him as his personal bodyguard. Later forced to flee with his band from Nero’s wrath, he is eventually granted amnesty by the new emperor and returns—with Berenice, his Roman wife—to Britain as governor of the lands his people o­nce occupied.
