LADY GODIVA
Godiva was the beautiful wife of Leofric, Earl of Mercia and Lord of Coventry. She lived in the eleventh century.
According to an old legend, the Earl taxed the people of
Coventry heavily and unjustly. If they were unable to pay those
cruel taxes, they were thrown into prison.
Lady Godiva begged her husband to have mercy on the people, but her stony-hearted husband showed no pity. Again and again she begged him, even on bended knees, to be merciful, until, at last, he answered jokingly, 'I will do what you ask only if you will ride naked through the streets of Coventry at 10 noon/
Lady Godiva took her husband at his word. She sent her servants through the town to tell the citizens that at noon the next day none of them were to be in the streets, and that they must all close the wooden shutters of their houses. If they 15 obeyed, she would be able to save them from the misery they were suffering from heavy taxes.
Lady Godiva rode naked through the empty streets of Coventry the next day. Every door was closed and every window was shuttered. The Earl of Mercia kept his promise, and light-    20 ened the burden of taxes he had laid upon the citizens. Only one man, a tailor, had watched Lady Godiva as she rode through the streets. He had bored a small hole in the door of his house, and had peeped through this hole. The legend says that he was struck blind, and he has been known ever since as Peep-    25 ing Tom.
