No, they didn't kill her husband. Prasutagus died naturally, but the Romans used that as an excuse to annexe the territory.Boudicca was flogged, her daughters raped. She got annoyed, and destroyed as much of the Roman occupation as she could get her hands on, which was quite a bit.

She probably hadn't given the question of nationality or ethnicity a single thought.
