- The Fourth Doctor and his companion Leela visited Norfolk, where they met Boudicca, the Queen of the Iceni, during her revolt against the occupying Roman forces in Britannia. The Doctor recognised Boudicca on sight due to her "very, very red hair." In order to prevent Boudicca from severing his head, Leela told her that the Doctor was a prophet who foresaw her defeat at the hands of the Romans. The Doctor told her that the forces at the Roman capital Camulodunum were a decoy and Roman governor Suetonius Paulinus stationed an army to the north and intended to attack Boudicca's army while it was ransacking Camulodunum. However, this was not the case. There was no army to the north. According to established history, after the burning of Camolundunum, which would later become Colchester, Boudicca marched to Londinium and slaughtered almost everyone in the city including the old, the weak and the infirm. She was eventually defeated in a field in the middle of England which no has ever been able to identify. Her army may have numbered up to 80,000 by this time but the Doctor notes that this figure could have been exaggerated by later historians. There were no survivors. Instead of allowing the Romans to execute her, Boudicca killed her daughters before killing herself. The Doctor told Leela that he had no desire to to witness Boudicca's defeat first hand. The Roman occupation of Britain continued for another 350 years. (BFA: The Wrath of the Iceni) Gaius Calaphilus was among the soldiers who fought "Boudicca's wretched Iceni." (PDA: Byzantium!)
