    Notes:

    Godiva, Lady (flourished about 1040-80), Anglo-Saxon noblewoman, wife of
    Leofric, earl of Mercia (flourished 1005-57). She is known to have persuaded
    her husband to found monasteries at Coventry (1043) and Stow. According to
    legend, she obtained a reduction in the excessive taxes levied by her husband
    on the people of Coventry by consenting to ride naked through the town on a
    white horse. Only one person disobeyed her orders to remain indoors behind
    closed shutters; this man, a tailor known afterward as Peeping Tom, peered
    through a window and immediately became blind. The oldest form of the legend is
    in the 13th-century Flores Historiarum (Flowers of the Historians). A festival
    in her honor was instituted as part of Coventry Fair in 1678.
