Notes - !or of Coventry, Warwick, England. Name more accurately spelled Godgifu.
Noted for her legendary ride through Coventry, England. Her husband Leofric, Earl of Mercia, promised to reduce the people of Coventry's heavy taxes if she rode naked through the city streets on a white horse. "Peeping Tom" alone essayed to gaze upon the spectacle.
