From the Detroit News.
Coventry, a manufacturing town in
Central England, is world famed as
the place where Lady Godiva made
her famous ride, for IL glimpse OF
which "Peeping Tom" paid with his
eyesight.
An old legend says Leofric. Earl of
Mercia and Lord OF Coventry. imposed
certain services and heavy exactions
upon the inhabitants OF Coventry
about the year 1910. OF these the
people complained. Lady Godiva had
the welfare Of the town at heart and
begged her husband to give them re-
lief. Her entreaties We're so earnest
that the earl said he would grant her
the favor only on the condition that
she would ride through the town
stripped Of all clothing.
Then the lady ordered that d proc
lamation be made that on d certain
day no one should be out OF doors or
even look from their houses. On that
day. clothed only in her long hair, she
rode through the town. This incide mt
was later commemorated in a stained
glass window in ST. Michael's Church
in Coventry. and today there are sew
eral modern statues OF Lady Godiva
In that town.
