Lady Godiva.

In Medieval England there were Leofric, Earl of Mercia and his wife Lady Godiva. People of his kingdom loved and respected Earl's wife because she was a very good and kind woman. Lepfric made high taxes for citizens.

Godiva asked her husband to lower taxes for people. But Leofric, Earl of Mercia didn't hear Lady Godiva's words.

One day Leofric said that he would make taxes lower if his wife will ride a horse nude. So she did it.

On that day no one of people came out of the house. Just one young man named Tom saw the nude Lady Godiva. He became blind. Earl made lowered taxes for people of his kingdom.

It is a legend from the Middle Ages. We don't know if it is true or false.

There are many statues and pictures about Lady Godiva.
