Revolt against the Romans: After the death of her husband, Prasutagus, king of the Iceni tribe, Boudicca was outraged when the Romans annexed their territory and took possession of their lands and wealth. She rallied the Iceni and several other Celtic tribes to join her in a rebellion against Roman rule.
Destruction of Roman cities: Boudicca's forces launched a devastating attack on the Roman settlements of Camulodunum (modern-day Colchester), Verulamium (modern-day St. Albans), and Londinium (modern-day London). These cities were torched and plundered, and thousands of Roman citizens and settlers were killed.
Battle against Suetonius Paulinus: The Romans, led by the governor of Britain, Gaius Suetonius Paulinus, responded with a military campaign against Boudicca's forces. The decisive battle took place at the Battle of Watling Street, where the well-organized and disciplined Roman legionaries inflicted heavy casualties on Boudicca's army.
Boudicca's suicide: Following the defeat at Watling Street, Boudicca took her own life rather than face capture by the Romans. The exact manner of her death is uncertain, but it is believed that she may have consumed poison.
Boudicca's rebellion was ultimately unsuccessful in securing permanent Celtic independence from Rome, but her actions became legendary and inspiring symbols of resistance against foreign domination. She remains an important historical figure in British history and cultural identity.
