According to legend, in order to help relieve the burden of taxes on the people of Coventry, Lady Godiva rode through the streets completely naked as her husband, Leofric, Earl of Mercia, had promised to exempt the people from taxes if she did so. Lady Godiva is celebrated as a symbol of courage, benevolence, and sacrifice.
