Once held by:
Countess Godiva 1086 (Lady Codiva)
a 900-year-old English legend. The original Lady Godiva was an 11th century noblewoman married to Leofric, the powerful Earl of Mercia and Lord of Coventry. As the story goes, Godiva was troubled by the crippling taxes Leofric had levied on the citizens of Coventry. After she repeatedly asked him to lessen the burden, Leofric quipped that he would lower taxes only if she rode naked on horseback through the center of town. Determined to help the public, Godiva stripped off her clothes, climbed on her horse and galloped through the market square with only her long flowing hair to cover herself. Before leaving, she ordered the people of Coventry to remain inside their homes and not peek, but one man, named Tom, couldn’t resist opening his window to get an eyeful. Upon doing so, this “Peeping Tom” was struck blind. After finishing her naked ride, Godiva confronted her husband and demanded that he hold up his end of the bargain. True to his word, Leofric reduced the people’s debts.

Most Lordships had a court that could deal with minor crimes, serious crimes were dealt with in the nearest Baron’s court called a “Court Baron”. The Baron’s Court was also a Tax collector on behalf of the crown in the feudal system. Baronial Courts (Baronial house for the Baron and Baroness) were generally far grander than a normal Manor house of Lords and Ladies, most Manor houses were no more than a farmhouse.
Barons and Baronesses would display their higher status to Lords and Ladies by holding banquets and offering their guests rare and expensive foods. They would wear expensive clothing often with gold or silver thread. The banqueting hall would have a grand large fireplace to keep their guest warm during the banquet. Wine was served in “Goat Skins” squeezed into wine jugs and served in pewter or wood tankers or silver goblets.
To be a Baron and Baroness in the medieval times was like being a celebrity in today’s society. Commoners, Lords and Ladies had to bow to Barons and Baronesses. They rode big shire horses (medieval Ferrari) as a display of their status, they had knights (bodyguards) to guard them when they travelled. They were high society of their time.
