Well, professor, I will put forth the answer to a Stanford University Quiz Bowl question and leave it at that:

25. Identify her, 30-20-10.

(30) She burned the ancient equivalents of Colchester, St. Albens, and London to the ground in 60 AD. Motive: revenge.

(20) She was the wife of King Prasutagus of the Iceni. When Prasutagus, an ally of the Romans died, the local Roman governor decided that he would seize her wealth and lands for himself. When Boudicca protested, the Roman soldiers flogged her and raped her daughters.

(10) Her name lives on in legends. The term "bodacious", a lively and spirited woman, is derived from her name. The animated series Gargoyles had, on the island of Avalon, a "Bronx"-like beast named for her.

Well, I was about to apologise for disputing you after I read that one article, but since you prefer to approach it as a smart-ass, so be it.

Check Webster, genius. I stand by my source.

...When Boudicca protested, the Roman soldiers flogged her and raped her daughters.

Pretty stupid quiz that gives the answer within the question.
