Explanation: After the Briton Queen Boudicca revolted, her forces were defeated by a smaller Roman army under the command of General Paulinus at the Battle of Watling Street. By some accounts, once the battle was clearly lost, Boudicca killed herself rather than face capture at the hands of the victorious Romans.

Considering she would have been paraded in Triumph and killed, at best, or tortured and crucified at worst, if caught, this was probably a good choice, all things considered.
