Name:
Lady Godiva was an 11th century Anglo-Saxon noblewoman who, according to a legend dating back at least to the 13th century, rode naked--only covered in her long hair--through the streets of Coventry in order to gain a remission of the oppressive taxation imposed by her husband on his tenants.
