Valiant
She's a woman with a heart of a honey badger
and a will like a raging tiger.
She led her people against mighty Rome
in defense of the place that they called home.
Red haired queen, she was called.
She was one who was witty and bold.
She held the banner of the Iceni
in her bid for faithful victory.
But victory was for fate to decide,
and in the many, it was bound to reside.
The great red-haired queen met her demise,
with the tale of her legend on the rise.
And even if thousand years would pass by,
the legend of her name would never die;
Her greatness still lives in memory
and enshrined in Britain's great history.
*In dedication to queen Boudica of the Iceni tribe, as immortalized in ROK*
