    Gosh, I certainly hope not. It's bad enough having to kill yourself after you've witnessed your army being slaughtered by a much smaller force of professional Roman soldiery, but some things a proud Celtic Queen should be spared. However, according to this article on the BBC's website, someone has suggested that Boudicca's grave might be found in just these humiliating circumstances, in a suburb of Birmingham. Scholars seem to be largely unimpressed, and I hope they're right. Boudicca's grave should be sited on some lonely windswept moor -- or perhaps overlooking a gentle and lovely stream valley of the country she fought to defend.
