Boudica
Boudica or Boudicca (, from Brythonic * 'victory, win' + * (adjectival suffix), i.e. 'Victorious Woman', known in Latin chronicles as Boadicea or Boudicea, and in Welsh as '''''', ) was a queen of the ancient British Iceni tribe, who led a failed uprising against the conquering forces of the Roman Empire in AD 60 or 61. She is considered a British national heroine and a symbol of the struggle for justice and independence.
