		After marrying Prasutagus in about 48 or 49 A.D., Boudicca became Queen of the Iceni; she bore two daughters, names unknown, who are believed to have been in their early teens when their father died in 60 or 61 A.D. Boudicca then became Regent of the Iceni, and the guard of her daughters’ inheritance.
		Prasutagus had believed the greater sacrifice to the Romans would allow the oversight of the money and goods willed to his daughters, who were, after all, poised to take over his kingdom.
		Prasutagus, king of the Iceni, famed for his long prosperity, had made the emperor [upon his death] his heir along with his two daughters, under the impression that this token of submission would put his kingdom and his house out of the reach of wrong.

	Boudicca
		Prasutagus had, as was the custom, willed enough of his wealth to Rome that his tribe and the succession of leadership should not have required Roman interference.
		However, after the death of Prasutagus an attempt was made by the Romans to make the Iceni a subject population.
		This may indicate that the wealth of the Iceni was so vast to be considered worth the risks involved in setting aside Boudicca and the central family and to risk the wrath of the tribe to take its property and wealth in the name of Rome.

	Battle of Boii - Spring 237BC
		Indeed, it would seem that Prasutagus believed the Romans would advance into Boii during the spring of 237BC and thus intended to use the dispersion of his warriors for winter as a trap.
		While the warriors of Boii would remain over went in their own lands, Prasutagus worked frantically gathering his dispersed forces and by mid spring, when Tiberius was on the move, so to was Prasutagus with reinforcements.
		Prasutagus was rumored to be disturbed by the Roman deployments.

	Prasutagus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Prasutagus was king of a British Celtic tribe called the Iceni, who inhabited roughly what is now Norfolk, in the 1st century AD.
		In any case, as an ally of Rome his tribe were allowed to remain nominally independent, and to ensure this Prasutagus named the Roman emperor as co-heir to his kingdom, along with his two daughters.
		Tacitus says he lived a long and prosperous life, but when he died, the Romans ignored his will and took over, depriving the nobles of their lands and plundering the kingdom.

	Boudica Summary
		Upon the death of her husband Prasutagus (circa 60), the Romans annexed his kingdom and brutally humiliated Boudica and her daughters, spurring her leadership of the revolt.
		Prasutagus lived a long life of conspicuous wealth, and, hoping to preserve his line, made the Roman emperor co-heir to his kingdom along with his two daughters.
		In 60 or 61, while the current governor, Gaius Suetonius Paulinus, was leading a campaign against the island of Anglesey in north Wales, which was a refuge for British rebels and a stronghold of the druids, the Iceni conspired with their neighbours the Trinovantes, amongst others, to revolt.

		Prasutagus, king of the Iceni, after a life of long and renowned prosperity, had made the emperor [Suetonius] co heir with his own two daughters.
		Prasutagus hoped by this submissiveness to preserve his kingdom and household from attack.
		So even if esvprasto is not Prasutagus – and I believe he is – this ruler certainly governed the Iceni during the last stages of their self-rule, before the tragic events of the Boudican rebellion in AD61 quashed their independence forever.

		Boudicca was ruler of the powerful tribe, the Iceni, with her husband Prasutagus.
		Prasutagus died and left his kingdom to Emperor Nero, believing that client status would assure its survival.
		The imperial response was, according to Tacitus, appalling: Roman legionnaires plundered the realm, flogged the queen and ravished her daughters.

	Article: Confusion over the role of Boadicea's husband - The Times London - Dec. 1999
		Prasutagus, like his more famous wife (properly Boudicca) is said to have lived in the mid-first century AD, and to have reached an accommodation with the invading Romans soon after the conquest of AD43.
		The king's name may thus have been Esuprastus rather than Prasutagus, but Dr Williams feels it more likely that the man named on the coins and Boudicca's husband were not the same person.
		A new coin hoard found at Silsden in Yorkshire, dated to the mid-first century by coins of Cunobelin (later Shakespeare's Cymbeline), contained six gold staters of the Corieltauvi tribe inscribed with the name IISVPRASV, whom Dr Williams believes to be identical with Esuprastus.

		However Prasutagus left the other half of his chiefdom, several ancient artifacts, and the rest of his fortune to Boudicca to hold until their roughly teenage daughters matured.
		Prasutagus had hoped that by leaving the greater half of his belongings to Rome he could insure a degree of stability for his family, as history shows he was sadly wrong.
		Because the Governor of Britain was away fighting druids on the island of Mona (modern Anglesey) the legions moved in and devastated Iceni territory, seizing the lands of the Iceni nobles and enslaving the women and children.

		I hear Prasutagus died a week since, though the news has come but slowly, and already a horde of Roman officials have arrived in Norfolk, and are proceeding to make inventories of the king's possessions, and to bear themselves as insolently as if they were masters of all.
		The only subject of criticism was that his hair was shorter than that of his countrymen, for although he had permitted it to grow since he left Camalodunum, where he had worn it short, in Roman fashion, it had not yet attained its full length.
		Since his return home there had been no great tribal gathering, for Prasutagus had for some time been ill, and had always discouraged such assemblages both because they were viewed with jealousy by the Romans and because he begrudged the expenses of entertaining.

		In fact the opposite was the case - Prasutagus totally misunderstood the concept of a client kingdom.
		On his death, the Romans would either extend the client arrangement(if thought to be appropriate) by nominating a kinsman of Prasutagus to be the new client monarch OR the territory of the client kingdom would be absorbed into the Province.
		Prasutagus unfortunately instigated the revolt by leaving 1/4 of the territory, that was not his but legitimate Roman territory, to each of his daughters.

		The first is of a monetary nature, while the second is a method of propaganda for the ruler; often depicting them with idealized characteristics and minted to celebrate any victories or achievements.
		This coin of Prasutagus, King of the Iceni and husband of Boudicca, is viewed in contrast with the previous coins of the Iceni.
		The reverse face of the coin is consistent with Celtic tradition in that it is highly ornamental.

	BOUDICA BODICEA QUEEN OF THE ICENI
		She was married to Prasutagus, and with him she ruled over the Iceni - the tribe occupying East Anglia - but under Roman authority.
		Dio says that she was "possessed of greater intelligence than often belongs to women", that she was tall, had long red hair down to her hips, a harsh voice and a piercing glare, and habitually wore a large golden necklace (perhaps a torc), a many-coloured tunic and a thick cloak fastened by a brooch.
		It was normal Roman practice to allow allied kingdoms their independence only for the lifetime of their client king, who would agree to leave his kingdom to Rome in his will: the provinces of Bithynia and Galatia, for example, were incorporated into the Empire in just this way.

		A dispute followed during which Boadicea, was publicly beaten by the soldiers of the emperor, and her two daughters raped.
		The Roman procedure at the time was that if a vassal king died the Romans took over the area and the benefits of ownership.
		Prasutagus tried to side-step this by leaving instructions that on his death, his lands and wealth should be equally divided between his family (his wife Boudicca and his two daughters) and Rome.

		The greatest test of her spirit began in 61 AD when King Prasutagus became ill and died.

		Among these Prasutagus was conspicuous, and we ourselves were as much to blame as he was that we suffered it.
		Prasutagus knew this also, for as soon as Beric returned from Camalodunum he begged the Druids to find out whether good or evil was to be looked for from this youth, who had been brought up among the Romans, and their report to him tallied with that which I myself heard from them.
		Prasutagus is dead; his queen and his daughters have suffered the direst indignities; a Roman has seized the wealth heaped up by inglorious cowardice.

		Upon his death Prasutagus left his kingdom to be shared by his two daughters and the new Roman emperor, Nero, believing that this would ensure tranquility for his family and kingdom.
		Roman law, however, did not allow royal inheritance to be passed to daughters, and co-ownership of a kingdom with a woman was unacceptable according to Roman standards.
