Boudicca had great leadership qualities, and she had a motivation that incensed her people. She and her two daughters, one as young as 12 had been gang raped and tortured by Roman legions. This helped to inspire the people to join her in revolt. Once defeated, it's speculated she and her daughters committed suicide by drinking hemlock.
