Boudica was a queen of the British Celtic Iceni tribe who lived during the 1st century AD. She is known for leading a major uprising against the occupying forces of the Roman Empire. Boudica's rebellion was sparked by the mistreatment of her and her daughters by the Romans, and she rallied other tribes to join her cause. Although her rebellion was ultimately unsuccessful, Boudica is remembered as a symbol of resistance and bravery in the face of oppression.
