I read boudica fought in a battle while eight months pregnant?

Is this an historical fact or legend, or am I confusing her with someone else? What battle was it?

    You may be confusing her with Eleanor of Aquitaine who accompanied her first husband on the Second Crusade. Eleanor did have a child during this period, and is reputed to have lead her own army (which was defeated). Whether or not she went into battle while 8 months pregnant? There is no evidence of it.
