Boudicca was the queen of Iceni. Her husband was the ruler of an English tribe. When he died, the Romans decided that they could finally break the alliance and try to take over the tribe. When she protested, her daughters were beaten and raped. She called her men to battle, and they slaughtered many towns worth of Romans, without taking prisoners. They burned the towns to the ground. They were finally taken down, and Boudicca poisoned herself so she wouldn't be captured. She is considered a hero in Britain.
