First: The Lady Godiva who rode naked through Coventry? This was added some 400 years after her death, so not really.

Second: The Lady Godiva who rode through Coventry wearing a linen shift (slip)? Yes, but…..

Third: Epona the Celtic horse goddess? Coventry was in a part of England that was the last to relinquish Paganism. In Britain, she was a goddess of horses and fertility who was hugely popular. So, when Lady Godiva—a high ranking lady—rode bareback, of course she became famous as a reincarnation of Epona.

[Lady Godiva is my great…great grandma, so I have a special interest in her]
