Monarch

The Resume

    ( -63)
    Queen of the Iceni (British tribe)
    Led an uprising against Roman rule in Britain

Why she might be annoying:

    She sacrificed hundreds of Roman women to her war goddess.
    She was said to torture her captives.
    She got married in her teens.
    During her uprising, she was said to have killed 70,000 Romans and Roman-friendly Britons.

Why she might not be annoying:

    After her husbands death, Emperor Nero annexed Boudicca's lands.
    When she went against that, she was publicly flogged for going against the Emperor.
    Her two teenage daughters were raped by soldiers.
    Her army massacred a Roman legion, which was no mean feat considering Rome was at its peak at the time.
    When she was defeated, she committed suicide, preferring death over Roman capture.
