Boudicea of the Angles?? Methinks thy time line is confused. ;-)
Boadicea (Boudicca) was queen of the Iceni, an Iron Age tribe, centuries  
before the Angles arrived in Britain. She fought the Roman invaders; the Angles  
arrived at the end of the Roman occupation bringing with them their famous  
Anglo-Saxon attitudes (at least according to Sellars and Yeatman). Boudicca  
certainly had attitude, but it wasn't Anglo-Saxon.
