hersilia
boudica's husband, prasutagus, was the king of the iceni, a people who inhabited roughly what is now norfolk. during claudius's conquest of southern britain in ad 43, the iceni initially allied with rome. they were proud of their independence, and had revolted in ad 47 when the then roman governor publius ostorius scapula planned to disarm all the peoples in the area of britain under roman control following a number of local uprisings. ostorius defeated them and went on to put down other uprisings around britain. the iceni remained independent, under prasutagus. it is unknown whether he became the king only after ostorius's defeat of the iceni; tacitus does not date the start of prasutagus's reign and first mentioned him, as a long-reigning king who had died, when he wrote about boudica's rebellion.

tacitus records that the iceni were not conquered in the claudian invasion of ad 43, but had come to a voluntary alliance with the romans. however, they rose against them in 47 after the governor, publius ostorius scapula, threatened to disarm them. d. f. allen explains in further detail, in his article "the coins of the iceni," that scapula had been "preoccupied with defense against the unconquered silures in south wales and brigantes in yorkshire." allen informs readers that this was how prasutagus had come to gain full control over the iceni (allen 2). the iceni were defeated by ostorius in a fierce battle at a fortified place, but were allowed to retain their independence. the site of the battle may have been stonea camp in cambridgeshire.
