Lady Godiva’s naked ride. According to the legend, she rode naked on horseback to protest the high taxes her husband imposed upon the poor of Coventry, England. The town’s people agreed not to watch Lady Godiva but one tailor named Tom did. Lady Godiva was an actual person but history is uncertain if her naked ride occurred.
