Boadicea (or Boudica) is a great woman with a great destiny. Being of the royal blood, she became a wife of king Prasutagus, who was a leader of the Iceni tribe, which inhabited the territory of contemporary Norfolk. According to Tacitus and Dio, Boadicea was very tall, «possessed of greater intelligence than often belongs to women», her hair was red and long, her voice was loud, and her appearance on the whole was terrifying. She wore a many-coloured tunic, and a thick cloak fastened with a brooch.
