I just finished a picture book manuscript: The True Lady Godiva. She did NOT ride nude. That was fiction added many years after her death. Lady Godiva – 1010AD to about 1077AD. She did penance wearing a linen shift though she was allowed to ride horseback. After the ride, her husband lowered the taxes on the village of Coventry. Among her famous descendants are William Shakespeare and Daniel Webster. She is also my great…grandmother.
