Boadicea was the queen of the Iken and other British tribes.
She led a rebellion against the Roman occupiers in Britain in 60 and 61 during the reign of Emperor Nero, in which 70,000 Romans were killed. However, the rebellion was still crushed, and Boadicea committed suicide.
In his biography "Disraeli," Maurois depicts the life of British statesman Benjamin Disraeli, his political rise, literary work, and role in shaping 19th-century British politics.
