From memory the Sacketts came out of the fens. So, are they descended from the Iceni? And if so, are they then descended from Bouadicea? If so, that would be even more awesome. She was described as tall with long red hair and fierce.

“In stature she was very tall, in appearance most terrifying, in the glance of her eye most fierce, and her voice was harsh; a great mass of the tawniest hair fell to her hips; around her neck was a large golden necklace; and she wore a tunic of divers colours over which a thick mantle was fastened with a brooch. This was her invariable attire.”

Tawny being a reddish brown. There is a statue of her with her daughters in a chariot near Big Ben in London...close to Parliament.
