Boudicca (pronounced Boo-dikka), also known as Boadicea and Boudica, was a Celtic chieftain who led the Iceni and a number of other Celtic tribes, including the neighbouring Trinovantes, in a major uprising against the occupying Roman forces in Britain in AD 61. The tribal ruler Prasutagus, Boudicca's husband, led the Iceni, who lived in the future East Anglia. He had compromised his political position by entering into a number of agreements with the Romans, amongst them bequeathing part of his dominions to them, in hope that they would protect his family's title to the remainder. When he died in AD 61, Procurator Catus Decianus seized his entire estate. Boudicca assembled an army and laid waste to Colchester, London and Verulamium. Boadicea died in AD 62.
