thank you sooooo much emeritus, scorpiojo, dannyk13 and jackdaw33 how you got that from my description is beyond me

All credit to emeritus :)

To me it was always Boadicea. How, why and when the names were de-anglisised I do not know. What I do know is that when I taught junior history, and King Canute became Cnut, I glossed swiftly over his reign as one of my pupils was mildly dyslexic.
