Note	According to legend, Lady Godiva argued with her husband over the heavy taxes he had imposed on the people of Coventry. He promised to reduce them if she rode naked through the streets of the town at noon. Everyone remained indoors, except `Peeping Tom' looked out through a hole in his shutters. Whatever about the legend, Lady Godiva is a historical figure.
