Lady Godiva [fl. 1040-1080]?

Lady Godiva [Godgifu] may indeed be an ancestor of Elihu Yale [1649-1721] --
an 18th Great-Grandmother to be precise.

Deucedly Appropriate...

The Fair Lady may well be an ancestor of mine as well -- a 29th
Great-Grandmother.

How Sweet It Is!

Look at the lands mentioned in these charters, they might
be spurious but DB attests the authentic basis of them.
No one would deny the connection of Leofric and Godiva
to Coventry, they started Coventry on the road to prosperity
Roger de Hoveden says,
"Leofric the praiseworthy Earl of happy memory, son of
Duke Leofwine, departed this life, at a good old age,
at his town which is called Bromlege, on the second
day before the kalends of September, and was honourably
buried at Coventry,which monastery, among other good works
which he did in his lifetime, he himself and his wife,
the noble countess Godiva, a worshipper of God, and a
devoted lover of St. Mary ever a virgin, had built with their
patrimonial possesions [sic], and abundantly endowed it with
lands."
S 1233 is for Newark, Fledborough, Brampton in Torksey
and Marton in Well Wapentake Lincs.
DB shows Newark as having been owned by Lady Godiva
and Gilbert of Ghent who was said to have been
Hereward's godfather. Fledborough is owned by Godiva.
Brampton belongs to the Bishop of Lincoln, some of the
nearby land has owners with the same names as Brand's
brothers, Gamal also owns land there. I can't find Marton
in DB but nearby land is owned by people connected
to the family including possibly Godiva's sister.
As for Countess Lucy, perhaps there's another Thorald
that I should have looked more closely at.
I don't think we've disproved Earl Leofric yet.
Lets take a look at some of the more minor characters
connected with Hereward and see if they can throw
a little light on the subject.

Hey, Ducks, how's moral support for the invasion of
Iraq going? Has your dumb anorexic blonde said
anything memorably stoopid in the past 24 hours?



Okay, not so hot in Iraq, eh.

Minus one, the navel content was lint

Good news, the K Street lobbyists are hiring Democratic staffers and
former Congressionals

Going back to topic, I wonder if British science is advanced enough
to secure DNA from Lady Godiva's crypt and to create a clone. Then
we can see for ourselves if her hair can grow long enough to cover
those areas forbidden by the Quran.
