Boudicca was the queen of the Iceni tribe in ancient Britain who led a major uprising against Roman rule around AD 60-61. The conflict arose after the Romans annexed her territory following her husband's death, disregarding local customs and imposing heavy taxation. Boudicca's rebellion was fueled by the mistreatment of her people and the destruction of her home. Her revolt, although initially successful, ultimately ended in defeat against the Roman forces.
Boudicca's father was Prasutagus, the king of the Iceni tribe in ancient Britain. He ruled as a client king under Roman authority and left his kingdom jointly to his daughters and the Roman Emperor Nero upon his death. This decision was intended to secure peace and stability for the Iceni, but it ultimately led to conflict when the Romans disregarded his wishes. Boudicca became a prominent figure in the revolt against Roman rule following the mistreatment of her family and tribe.
The Roman army led by Gaius Suetonius Paulinus defeated Boudicca's forces.
Boudicca and the Celts rebelled against Roman rule primarily due to oppressive taxation and the mistreatment of Boudicca's family, including the seizure of her kingdom and the abuse of her daughters. The rebellion, which began in AD 60 or 61, was fueled by widespread resentment towards Roman exploitation and cultural imposition. Boudicca sought to restore her people's freedom and avenge the injustices they faced under Roman governance. The revolt ultimately reflected broader discontent among various tribes in Britain regarding Roman dominance.

The Roman army led by Gaius Suetonius Paulinus defeated Boudicca's forces.
Nero was the Roman emperor at the time of Boudicca's unpleasantness.
In AD 60 or 61.
Boudicca was queen of the tribe known as the British Iceni. This was a Celtic tribe. They led the uprising against forces who occupied the Roman Empire.
When Prasutagus, the ruler of the Iceni tribe, died he left his kingdom jointly to his daughters and the Roman emperor. His will was ignored by the Romans who annexed the kingdom and, as the story goes, his wife Queen Boudicca was flogged and her daughters raped. This caused a revolt against Roman rule and Boudicca led her people and neighboring tribes against all Roman authority.
