I repeat: the Iceni submitted quickly to the Romans in AD 44 and kept limited independence as a result. Their ‘independence’ was shown for the sham it was by the events of AD 60.

One could argue that the Brigantes, who revolted in AD70, were the last to submit to the Romans, but the fact remains that Cartimandua had already sided with the Romans in the 40s AD. This was true of the Iceni as well but the Iceni had retained relative tribal independence until the Boudican Revolt. It is reasonable to say, therefore, that the Iceni were the last tribe to submit to the Romans in what we now call England at least.

re: the Iceni tribe, the last to submit to the Romans.
====================================
This is not true; the Boudiccan revolt, certainly not the last, came later.
