...victims of the famed Queen Boudicca's troops...
Yeah, troops, right... she led thousands of untrained tribesmen/tribeswomen to commit acts of mass murder, then into a battle where they had massive numerical superiority over the remnant Roman army in Britain, where they were nevertheless annihilated. After that, the surviving Iceni were systematically hunted down and/or rounded up and ceased to exist. Nice going! Like other modern Euro states, the historical events are rendered into quasi-historical fiction in order to serve the needs of national myth.

You are kind of doing the Iceni down a bit there, they managed to ambush and annihilate an entire Roman Legion near Colchester during the revolt, which was quite an achievement in those days.
