Boadicēa

or Boudicēa. A queen of the Iceni in Britain, having been shamefully treated by the Romans, who even ravished her two daughters, excited an insurrection of the Britons against their oppressors during the absence of Suetonius Paulinus, the Roman governor, on an expedition to the island of Mona. She took the Roman colonies of Camalodunum, Londinium, and other places, and slew nearly 70,000 Romans and their allies. She was at length defeated with great loss by Suetonius Paulinus, and put an end to her own life, A.D. 61. See Tacitus, Ann. xiv. 31; and Tennyson's noble poem, Boadicea.
