Boudicca and judging people in their own time

Would Boudicca be a good name for a Royal Navy ship?

It is a striking name, but serious historical judgment should examine Boudicca in her own context rather than treating her as a simple modern hero.

Boudicca is an evocative naval name, but closer study may complicate modern admiration for her. Historical figures should first be assessed against the prevailing ideas and choices of their own time. That does not make every action acceptable, but it resists applying a simple present-day good-or-bad label without context. Most people and events occupy shades of grey, with only a small number fitting neat moral boxes.
