| 13. | Odiva "Lady Godiva" OF MERCIA died after 1040. Notes: Lady Godiva was displeased with her husbands heavy taxing of his peoples. He finally made her a deal, that if she rode through the town naked, he would lower the taxes. She sent notices to the towns people of her intent to warn them to close their shutters on the designated day. Peeping Tom, a tailor, got his nickname from the fact that he did not avert his eyes when she rode through clad only in her long hair. Her husband did honor his wager, a fact often lost in Lady "Godiva's" infamy. (C-484)
