Because Boudicca and the Romans had a difference of opinion. Her husband was a client king of Rome and living under Roman law. When he died he willed half of his kingdom to Nero, the Caesar at the time, and the other half to his wife. However because of Roman law a woman could not inherit,(except for a small restricted amount) from any husband or male relative. When Boudicca went to try and claim her inheritance, it was denied, she got nasty and so did the Romans. They flogged her and raped her two daughters.
Boudicca never beat the Romans. She did damage and won victories against undefended or poorly defended towns. However when she came up against a proper Roman army, even though vastly outnumbering the Romans, she lost--big time.

Boudicca obtained her victories while the bulk of the Roman army was engaged in the island of Anglesey in north Wales. When the Roman army returned, Boudicca's forces were routed. The Romans had a professional army, while Boudicca had a band of warriors who were followed by the women ,children and the elderly.

Boudicca's warriors successfully defeated the Roman Ninth Legion and destroyed the capital of Roman Britain, then at Colchester. They went on to detroy London and Verulamium (St Albans). Thousands were killed. Finally, Boudicca was defeated by a Roman army led by Paulinus. Many Britons were killed and Boudicca is thought to have poisoned herself to avoid capture. The site of the battle, and of Boudicca's death, are unknown.
Yes. After a long and bloody campaign, the Roman Army defeated an army lead by Queen Boudicca.
The battle site is unknown. The western Midlands are considered the general area. Boudica was defeated at the Battle of Watling Street. Watling Street was a Roman road close to High Cross in Leicestershire. Source of this answer is Wikipedia.
No. Queen Boudicca was leader of the Iceni, a tribe of Britons who fought against the Romans.
Boudicca had a great victory over thr Romans, but was eventually beaten by the Romans, and committed suicide, along with her young daughters, who had been violated.
It is said that the Romans used the "pig's head" formation against Boudicca and her forces. This was a vee shaped formation in which the Romans pushed into the attacking enemy with a wall of shields. The enemy could get into the spaces between the "vees" and then the back ranks of the Romans would turn and dispatch the entrapped enemy. However, the Roman were victorious not only because of their tactics, but of their discipline and training. War was their business, they knew what to do and how to do it. Their training and skill is what enabled less than 10,000 men to defeat a mob of 230,000 and slaughter 80,000 with only 400 losses.

Read your history book. The Romans had been in Britain for about 90 years before Boudicca was queen.
Queen Boudicca did not invade the Romans. She revolted against them because they mistreated her and her people, including raping her daughters.
Prasutagus, Boudicca's husband, did not "give in" to the Romans. He was a Roman ally. His coinage shows that he was a Romanized king.Prasutagus, Boudicca's husband, did not "give in" to the Romans.

Watling Street.
Queen Boudicca's final moments came at an unknown battlefield somewhere in the Midlands, where 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.
