Best Answer

Lady Godiva was a noblewoman who, according to legend, rode naked through the streets of Coventry to persuade her husband, Earl Leofric, to lower taxes on the townspeople. She is said to have covered herself with her long hair or a cloak during the ride, and as a result, the townspeople respected her bravery and did not look as she passed by.
