| | Boudica - Queen of the Iceni |
 | | The two most famous were Cartimandua, queen of the Brigantes, and Boudica, queen of the Iceni. |
 | | And, when the Iceni rebelled, Cartimandua held back the tribe, the largest in Britain, from coming to their aid. |
 | | Although "Boudica" is followed by Salway and Frere, among others, it probably should be "Boudica," which means "victory" in Celtic and would be the equivalent of the modern "Victoria." In any event, "Boadicea" is incorrect. |
