Her dying husband, Prasutagus, left half of his possessions to Rome in order to ensure his kingdom would be protected. Needless to say the Romans didn't entirely hold up their side of the bargain! They entered the kingdom and helped themselves to all that was left.
When Queen Boudicca protested she was flogged, her teenage daughters were raped and the Iceni were driven off their land.
Joining together with other neighbouring tribes she managed to pull a force of around 120 000 men, and fought her way through Southern Britain, burning St Albans, Colchester and London, it is estimated her force killed around 70 000 Roman settlers and sympathisers.
Her final moments came somewhere in the Midlands area of Britain; where, upon suffering a massive defeat, she persuaded her daughters to drink 'hemlock', before taking the poison herself, rather than fall into the hands of the Romans.
