Wikipedia
Godiva
Lady Godiva (; died between 1066 and 1086), in Old English Godgifu, was a late Anglo-Saxon noblewoman who is relatively well documented as the wife of Leofric, Earl of Mercia, and a patron of various churches and monasteries. Today, she is mainly remembered for a legend dating back to at least the 13th century, in which she rode naked – covered only in her long hair – through the streets of Coventry to gain a remission of the oppressive taxation that her husband, Leofric, imposed on his tenants. The name "Peeping Tom" for a voyeur originates from later versions of this legend, in which a man named Thomas watched her ride and was struck blind or dead.

Godiva
Godiva is a heavy metal band from Switzerland, founded in early 2001 as a cover band. By the summer of 2001, the band recorded their first 3-track-demo and, within the next year, Godiva supported bands such as Freedom Call, Shakra, Primal Fear and Dokken. Therefore it is not surprising that already one year after the band's formation Godiva were headlining the Swiss Metal Attack festival in 2002. The band's first album was simply titled Godiva and was recorded at the House of Music Studio in Winterbach, Germany under the direction of the producers Tom Naumann and Achim Köhler and released by Limb Music. The second album, Call Me Under 666, was released in the summer of 2005, with the formation of Sammy Lasagni and Moses B. Fernandez, Mitch Koontz, Peter Gander and Fernando Garcia.
