We were always taught at school that Boadicea was wrong and that Boudica was the correct Iceni spelling. Boadicea was adopted in the Middle ages because it sounded romantic.
Although, having re-read the bit above, I am inclined to agree with the bit that says "but almost certainly, it was originally Boudicca or Boudica".
