Boudicca's parentage is unknown, but she is believed to have come from Celtic Royal stock. Neither is it known who her siblings were (she probably had brothers and sisters, but their identities are lost to history).

She was married to King Prasutagus, ruler of the powerful Iceni tribe based in the South East of England, and had two daughters by him, Heanua and Lannosea. The King died around 60 AD, and Boudicca's armed rebellion against Roman occupation began soon afterwards when the treacherous British Governor, Gaius Paulinus, ordered the Iceni's land and assets to be siezed, had Boudicca imprisoned and her two daughters raped by rogue troops.

Both Boudicca and her two daughters committed suicide in 61 AD, following the collapse of the Celtic rebellion.
