Do you know of her? First to 100 percent go against her man, proclaim that she was going to be independent. Forbidden at the time of our Lord. It was a time of decency, 1793. This is as much of the coin that I have found, anyone else have something to add to Lady Godiva?
Here’s my coin from her naked ride. She made a bet and lost but held up her end of the deal. She was on the side of the towns people about high taxes and her husband was the person responsible for the high taxes. When she rode through the town on her horse naked the towns people are went inside and closed the windows and doors so as not to see her.
It’s been my understanding that she didn’t ride through the town naked. She appeared without her jewelry which was later embellished.
No, she was starkers. https://visitcoventry.co.uk/blog/po...ruth-behind-coventrys-most-legendary-heroine/
All except "Peeping Tom" The story goes that the townsfolk agreed not to observe Godiva as she passed by, but that Tom, a tailor, broke that trust and spied on her.
