Talk:Boudicca of the Iceni

All right TR, the article says Suetonius killed her. That's the way I learned it, and that's the way Shakespeare wrote it, though he was writing a propaganda piece so he may have taken certain liberties. And he killed her after the battle ended, so regicide. Yet the template has her dying of either suicide or "despair." Which is it? The answer determines whether she belongs in the new category or not.

As for dying of despair, I once saw a death certificate on which the informant had listed the cause of death as "His heart gave out after a lifetime of disappointment and signalled its surrender in a purple face in lieu of a white flag." I found that so romantic and poetic I committed it to memory and instructed my next of kin to put it on my death certificate, no matter what my real cause of death may be.
