# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Boudica ruled the Iceni alongside her husband Prasutagus, a Roman ally who tried to leave his kingdom jointly to his two daughters and the emperor. When he died, Rome ignored the will, annexed the territory, and confiscated his property. Tacitus records that Boudica was flogged and her daughters raped; Cassius Dio adds that imperial gifts were seized and the philosopher Seneca called in loans he'd forced on unwilling Britons. In 60 or 61, she led the Iceni and allied tribes in revolt, destroying Camulodunum, defeating part of the Ninth Legion, and burning Londinium and Verulamium to the ground. Governor Suetonius Paulinus regrouped his forces and, though vastly outnumbered, routed her army somewhere in the Midlands. Boudica died shortly after—by her own hand or from illness—and Nero briefly considered abandoning Britain altogether before Suetonius's victory secured the province. Her name, from the Brythonic for "victorious woman," returned to English consciousness in the Renaissance and became a Victorian rallying cry.
