Lady Godiva and her hubby, Leofric, the Earl Of Mercia were both generous to Christian religious houses. He established a Benedictine monastery in Coventry. She gave gold and silver jewelry to monasteries. One necklace was hung on the neck of the Virgin Mary. The first known Rosary-like string of prayer beads was made by her. That's history.
Different times.
According to legend, LG was deeply troubled by oppressive taxation of the people by her husband and entreated him again and again to lower taxes but he refused. However she persisted and eventually he gave in on the condition that she rode naked through the streets of the town. She issued a proclamation ordering people to shut their windows and stay inside.
Lady Godiva sounds like a great libertarian opponent of over-government to me.
A role for Nicole Kidman?

Lisa Douglas did similar in the run for mayor in one episode.
Speaking of Maude:

Leofric III and his wife Godgifu (Godiva) are my 32nd great-grandparents. I’m also related to her brother, Thorold, of Burkenhale/Bucknell. He’s my 29th great-grandfather.

I met her once at a long ago DragonCon.
Struck me as nice and down to earth type.
She recorded a short message for my dad who was a huge fan instead of autograph.
Dad was floored.

Lady Godiva, taking off your clothes,
Wonder how you manage to beat your foes?
Who finds the money to pay all that tax?
Did you think the taxes had hit the max?
Friday night arrives without a tax case,
Sunday morning you talk to your hun,
Monday you ride through the town all naked—
See the horse run...

She issued a proclamation ordering people to shut their windows and stay inside.That doesn't sound very libertarian to me. Downright authoritarian, in fact.
