Fragments of the Past 03

Lady Godiva was anglo-saxon noblewoman and wife of Leofric, Earl of Mercia, who, supposedly, agreed to her request to decrease taxes from his subjects, if she rides naked on a horse throuhgt streets of Coventry. Godiva accepted this, and called on people from the town to close their doors and windows, so she can fulfill her duty. She was covered with nothing but her hair. But, only one person, according to tale from 17th century, decided to take a look at Godiva. He is known as the Peeping Tom.
