FAQ About Boudica

Why did Boudica lead a revolt against the Romans?
Boudica led a revolt against the Romans due to the mistreatment of her and her people after the death of her husband, Prasutagus. The Romans ignored Prasutagus's will, which left his kingdom jointly to his daughters and the Roman emperor. Instead, they annexed the territory, flogged Boudica, raped her daughters, and confiscated property from the leading Iceni families, leading to the uprising.
