Boudica
However, everything came to a head when Roman soldiers raped Boudica's two daughters and beat her. The Iceni and other tribes in the area erupted in open revolt as a result. The retaliation by Boudica's army against any Romans in the area was quick and savage. In a matter of days, she cruelly killed the whole Roman inhabitants of Camulodunum, now Colchester, the capital of Roman Britain.
Even though Boudica continued to triumph in battle, the Romans eventually put an end to her uprising. It is unclear from the records what happened to her after that, but at least one account claims that she poisoned herself to elude detection.
