His most famous work is Boadicea and her daughters. Boadicea was a Celtic warrior queen who defied the Roman invaders.
Boadicea is still considered a British folk hero.
There is a line of pricy fragrances named Boadicea the Victorious. One of their more highly rated offerings here. How pricy? $50 a teaspoon pricy.
