When the Roman client king of the Iceni died in around 60 AD, the Romans brutally annexed his kingdom, provoking the Iceni and neighboring tribes to revolt under the leadership of his widow Boudica in 60 or 61 AD. The uprising caught the Roman governor—who was on the other side of Britain suppressing the Druidic colony on Anglesey at the time—by surprise and Boudica destroyed three major towns, including Londinium (London), before he was finally able to rally his forces and defeat her.
