Established in 1043 by Earl Leofric and his wife, the legendary Lady Godiva—who famously rode naked through its streets—Coventry evolved into a significant pilgrimage hub. During the Wars of the Roses (1455 - 1487), the city even hosted the Royal Court and served as a venue for Parliament meetings. In this engaging narrative, Mary Dormer Harris invites you to explore Coventrys historical landscape, revealing the lives of its influential figures, stunning architecture, and the vibrant guilds that drove its economy. A part of the Mediaeval Town series from the early 20th century, this book offers a captivating glimpse into the heart of Coventrys past.
