Boudicca, the queen of the Iceni tribe in ancient Britain, fought against the Romans in response to their oppressive rule and the unjust treatment of her people. After the death of her husband, Prasutagus, the Romans disregarded his will, which sought to protect the Iceni's autonomy, and instead annexed their territory, brutally mistreating Boudicca and her daughters. Fueled by anger and a desire for revenge, she united various tribes and led a rebellion in 60/61 AD, attacking Roman settlements, including the burning of Londinium (London). Despite initial successes, her forces were ultimately defeated, but her legacy as a symbol of resistance endures.
