[edit] Gaius Suetonius Paulinus in Ruled Britannia

Gaius Suetonius Paulinus played a prominent role in William Shakespeare's play Boudicca. In the final scene, he kills the captured Boudicca, but not before being awed by Boudicca's prophecy that some day another great queen will arise in Britain--a clear reference to Queen Elizabeth.
