What was the tribe of ancient Britons of Eastern England whose queen was Boudica (Boadicea)?
Boudica Owain Glyndŵr was surprising to many—of the statues Buddug is the most ancient, the only female, and the only antecedent from outside the modern Welsh nation. Boudica Boudica or Boudicca (also Boadicea or Boudicea , and known in Welsh as ) was a queen of the British Celtic Iceni tribe who led an uprising against the occupying forces of the Roman Empire in AD 60 or 61, and died shortly after its failure, having supposedly poisoned herself. She is considered a British folk hero. Boudica's husband, Prasutagus, ruled as a nominally independent ally of Rome, and left his kingdom jointly
Boudica Raphael Holinshed also included her story in his "Chronicles" (1577), based on Tacitus and Dio, and inspired Shakespeare's younger contemporaries Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher to write a play, "Bonduca", in 1610. William Cowper wrote a popular poem, "Boadicea, an ode", in 1782. It was in the Victorian era that Boudica's fame took on legendary proportions as Queen Victoria came to be seen as Boudica's "namesake", their names being identical in meaning. Victoria's Poet Laureate, Alfred, Lord Tennyson, wrote a poem, "Boadicea", and several ships were named after her. Boudica is also featured as the leader of the Celtic civilization
