Boadicea's revolt, also known as Boudica's revolt, began in AD 60 or 61 when the Iceni tribe, led by Boudica, rose up against Roman rule in Britain. The catalyst for the revolt was the Roman annexation of Iceni territory and the mistreatment of Boudica and her daughters after the death of her husband, Prasutagus, who had left his kingdom to the Romans in his will. The situation escalated when the Romans responded harshly to the Iceni's resistance, prompting Boudica to unite several tribes in a rebellion against Roman oppression. This led to significant uprisings, including the destruction of Roman settlements such as Camulodunum (Colchester), Verulamium (St. Albans), and Londinium (London).
