Yes, she was the wife of King Prasutagus, head of the large Iceni tribe. They had two daughters, and Prastugatus was a client king of the Roman occupiers. When he died, he sought to retain co-operation with the Romans by making the then Emperor, Nero, co-heir to his kingdom, but instead the Roman Governor of Britain, Gaius Paulinus, renagued on the arrangement. Boudicca was imprisoned, her daughters raped by rogue Roman soldiers, and all the tribe's land and assets siezed. It was this that sparked Boudicca's rebellion.
