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.
Erika Bestenreiner's fascinating biographical study of Empress Sisi and her seven siblings reveals the unusual, tragic, and turbulent fates of the Bavarian royal Wittelsbach family.
