Lady Godiva of Coventry background

Lady Godiva of Coventry

A 11th-century noblewoman shocks her Saxon husband by galloping bareback through the town, awakening him to a new perspective.

In 11th century England, King Edward the Confessor demands that Saxon Lord Leofric marry a Norman woman, but he refuses and is imprisoned. While in jail, Leofric meets Godiva, the Sheriff's sister, and they get married. As tensions rise between the Anglo-Saxon population and the powerful Norman French, Godiva's militant nature leads to her iconic horseback ride.
