Boudicca was vilified in Roman history because she nearly drove the Romans out of England. However, modern history does not really view her as a villain. She started a rebellion against an oppressive Roman regime that took her people as slaves when they could not pay tribute, and had begun replacing her tribe's gods with their own. When she spoke out against the Roman regime, she was publicly beaten and her two daughters were raped in order to silence her and put her in her place. History today views her as a mother taking vengeance for her children, and a queen protecting her tribe and way of life against outside conquerors. She is also one of England's national heroes. Modern history does not view Boudicca as a villain.
