It matters not
That I have been told
Where your body lies
When your heart has grown cold.
Boudicca Queen of the Iceni, led a revolt against the Roman military in AD 60-61.

Boudicca, known in Roman annals as Boadicea, was born into aristocracy around 30 AD Little or nothing is known of where she came from; many believe that her name, Boudicca, was not her name at all, but that she may have been called Boudiga -- the Celtic goddess of Victory -- by her followers, which would lead to the Latinized name given as 'Boadicea Victoria' given by Roman historians. Boudicca married into the Iceni royalty in southeastern Britain, believed about 48 AD, and bore two daughters who had reached adolescence before her husband died of illness in 60 or 61 AD After his death came a series of surprising and ruthless attacks on her and her daughters by the Romans, and for this the Iceni tribe became outraged and Boudicca ultimately led a force believed to number over one hundred thousand or more, in a massive rebellion that left a permanent thorn in the side of the Roman Empire.
