Lady Godiva is an actual historical figure known for riding around buck-nekkid on a horse. She was also the inspiration behind a brand of gourmet chocolate. A fictionalized representation of Lady Godiva was featured in "The Bare Witch Project" episode of Charmed, where she was played by actress Kristen Miller.

Overview[]

Lady Godiva was the beautiful wife of the lord of Coventry. The people of that city were suffering grievously under the Earl's oppressive taxation. Lady Godiva appealed again and again to her husband, who obstinately refused to remit the tolls. At last, weary of her entreaties, he said he would grant her request if she would ride naked through the streets of the town. Lady Godiva took him at his word, and after issuing a proclamation that all persons should keep within doors or shut their windows, she rode through, clothed only in her long hair. Her husband kept his word and abolished the obnoxious taxes. [1]

Charmed[]

In 2005, Lady Godiva was called through time by a Magic School student named Duncan while Paige Matthews was trying to convince The Elders to keep Magic School open. She was summoned from a book, the Great Women of History, and brought Lord Dyson with her without anyone knowing. [2]

Lord Dyson was a Repression Demon that fed on the suppressed emotions of those around him. He disappeared on the day that Lady Godiva completed her ride. However, after absorbing enough repression in the present, Lord Dyson altered history when he was sent back more powerful than before. It was then revealed that if Lady Godiva wasn't there to complete her ride, equality between the sexes would not come to exist and women would still be suppressed in the present. [3]
