What Is Lady Godiva of Coventry About?
The premise of Lady Godiva of Coventry without spoilers.
An irreverent, fictionalized retelling of the legend of the Saxon noblewoman who inspired the famed Coventry ride. The film dramatizes the events that push the militant Lady Godiva to protest her lord’s tyranny, culminating in her famous naked ride—her long hair providing the only modesty. A comedic glimpse at medieval rebellion and folklore.
