New Story of Lady Godiva

The Peeping Tom Story
- reinterpreted by Amy Y. Kim

The newly reinterpreted story of Lady Godiva, from the viewpoint of Peeping Tom, is as followed:

Tom is a tailor who aspires everyday to see the beautiful Godiva. One day, when he follows her, he sees her begging to her husband, the king of Coventry, to abolish oppressive taxation in the town of Coventry. Because of the repeated request of Godiva, the king promises to reduce the tax on one condition; Godiva will have to ride on a horse naked and come down to the marketplace, one of the crowded places. Godiva accepts. Tom is very happy to have a chance to see Godiva naked.

But, the king issues a proclamation that all people should close their windows and stay inside of their house. Tom is disappointed, but he does not give up and makes a plan to see naked Godiva by hiding himself.

On the day, Godiva rides down to the market place, and Tom peeps Lady Godiva behind the keyhole of his tailor shop. Unfortunately, he does not recognize that the king is watching him behind. Finally, he gets punished and blinded by the king.

Original Story of Lady Godiva

"The story of Godiva's ride has been recorded by several Latin chroniclers, the earliest of them Roger of Wendover in the twelfth century and Matthew Paris in the early thirteenth."

Figure 2. Lady Godiva by John Collier (1850-1934)

Miss Lancaster judges Roger's version most reliable, and her translation runs as follows:

The saintly countess...desiring to free the town of Coventry from its burdensome and shameful servitude, often besought the earl, her husband, with earnest prayers, to free the town, by the guidance of the Holy Trinity and of the Holy Mother of God, from this slavery. The earl upbraided her for vainly seeking something so injurious to him and repeatedly forbade her to approach him again on the subject.

Nevertheless in her feminine pertinacity she exasperated her husband with her unceasing request and extorted from him the following reply: 'Mount your horse naked' he said 'and ride through the market place of the town from one side right to the other while the people are congregated, and when you return you shall claim what you desire.' And the countess answered: 'And if I wish to do this, will you give me your permission?' And the earl said: 'I will.' Then the Countess Godiva, beloved of God, on a certain day, as it is said, mounting her horse naked, loose her hair from its bands and her whole body was veiled except her fair white legs.

Her journey done, unseen by a soul, she returned rejoicing to her husband, who counted it a miracle. Then Earl Leofric granted a charter freeing the city of Coventry from its servitude and confirmed it with his seal.
