The Iceni were a Celtic tribe located in an area of southern Britain known as East Anglia.
Geographically they were isolated; to the north and east the boundary was the sea and the remainder was covered in dense forest, making invasion from foreigners nearly impossible.

She rallied the Iceni people against the Romans through her authority as a leader and charisma as an aerator.
