Boudica was a queen of the ancient British Iceni tribe, who led a failed uprising against the conquering forces of the Roman Empire in AD 60 or 61. She is considered a British national heroine and a symbol of the struggle for justice and independence. Boudica's husband Prasutagus, with whom she had two daughters, ruled as a nominally independent ally of Rome.

Wikipedia's infobox gives her death as AD 60 or 61, exact year disputed; this uses the earlier year. Her birth date and place are not given by the source at all (only 'Roman Britain'), so no birth fact is recorded here (gap for the depth wave).
