Queen Boudicca as translated from 'Epitome' 62.3.1 by Cassius Dio, as read in 'Boudicca', by Marguerite Johnson (2012), p.84.
p.35
In Roman times, the territory of the Iceni included
Norfolk and part of Suffolk; to their west were the Corieltauvi, to the
south, the Trinovantes and Catuvellauni (...). During
migrations in the sixth century BC from Belgium and Holland across the
North Sea, northwest Europeans established communities along the Norfolk
rivers and marshes with peaceful integration of the indigenous
population.
Boudica (alternative spelling: Boudicca), also known as Boadicea and
known in Welsh as Buddug (d. AD 60 or 61) was queen of the British Iceni
tribe who led an uprising against the occupying forces of the Roman
Empire. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boudica

Iceni, from Belgium and 'Holland', 6th century BCE, that sounds like the Fryas or proto-Frisians. Queen Boudicca could easily have been a character from the Oera Linda.

to being a slave with wealth
