  RESEARCH NOTES:
  Godiva's ancestry is uncertain, but she was evidently of an old, noble
  family.  She is the "Lady Godiva" of legend. [Ref: Weis AR #176A]
  
  sister of Thorold of Buckingham, sheriff of Lincs [Ref: Weis AR #176A, Watney
  #673]
  
  The people of Coventrytown suffered grievously under the Earl's oppressive
  taxation, about the year 1040, whereupon Lady Godiva appealed to her husband,
  who refused to remit the tolls.  At last, says the legend, he promised he
  would grant her request if she would ride naked through the streets of the
  town.  After issuing a proclamation that all persons should keep within doors
  and draw their blinds, she rode through Coventry clothed only in her long
  hair.  One person, a tailor, afterward known as Peeping Tom, disobeyed her
  instructions and is said to have been struck blind.  Her husband kept his
  word, and abolished the obnixious taxes.  The oldest form of the legend is
  given By Roger of Wendover, who quoted from an earlier unknown writer.  The
  Godiva procession, instituted May 31 1678 as part of Coventry Fair, was
  celebrated at intervals until 1826. [Ref: Wurts p429]
