She has ridden into my genealogy!

Wanna know what Leofric Earl of Mercer said to his wife Lady Godiva when she returned from her famous ride?

“Where the hell have you been!!? Your horse got home two hours ago!”

[Makana]

“Your horse got home two hours ago!””

Another reason never to own a driver-less car.

They forgot to elaborate on how Peeping Tom was struck blind. Most likely Mrs. Tom, not God, should really be credit with Tom’s sudden blindness. lol

[dsrtsage]

In the forthcoming movie she will be black

[SunkenCiv]

Hey, given his hobby, there probably was no Mrs. Tom. ;’)

[SunkenCiv]

Santa Claus is a fake?!?

[SunkenCiv]

I sense a family reunion in the offing.

Of course, a 19th century monk who did genealogies for hire invented a king of France along with a bunch of non-successor offspring, for those clients who were interested in knowing what their royal ancestry was. :’)

[SunkenCiv]

That’s why the menfolk weren’t supposed to look out the windows. The end result was, about nine months later...

[SunkenCiv]

;’)

[SunkenCiv]

I stole that. :’)

[SunkenCiv]

That’s exactly why this was so relevant to FR. :’)

[SunkenCiv]

Lord have Mercia.

[SunkenCiv]

Lady Godiva

And Leofric was her mythter.

I saw Peter and Gordon do Lady Godiva in concert in Manila in 1966.

Peter's sister (Jane Asher) was Paul McCartneys girlfriend for a while.

"In 1963, Asher interviewed The Beatles. A photographer for the BBC's Radio Times asked them to pose with Asher [1]. Asher subsequently commenced a five-year relationship with Paul McCartney (they became engaged in 1967[2]). She inspired many of McCartney's songs, such as "Here, There and Everywhere", "I'm Looking Through You", "You Won't See Me", "We Can Work It Out", "And I Love Her", and "For No One" (all credited as Lennon/McCartney). Lennon/McCartney penned the number one hit "A World Without Love" for her brother Peter."
