Victory! is about Boudica. She was a Queen of the Iceni, an ancient Celtic people. Her husband was a client king who had an agreement with the occupying Roman forces, but when he died, the Romans broke their word. Amongst other things, they had Boudica whipped, her daughters assaulted, and the Iceni people enslaved. Boudica fought back, leading her people in an uprising that razed Roman cities including London to the ground and challenged the most powerful empire the world has ever seen.
