Not many people know this, but this song is actually named after one of the fiercest celtic leaders in history, Boadicea or Budica.
Boudica (also spelled Boadicea or Budica) was a queen of the British Celtic Iceni tribe who led an uprising against the Roman Empire in AD 60 or 61. She is considered a British folk hero and her name is still remembered today. She led a rebellion against the Roman occupation of Britain, and although she was ultimately defeated, her resistance was a significant challenge to Roman rule in Britain.
