strawberries and chocolate

Joseph Draps selected the name Godiva for his chocolate company. His inspiration came from the Saxon legend of Lady Godiva who rode unclothed through the streets of Coventry to entreat her husband, Leofric the Dane, to lower taxes. Little did Draps realize that over time his chocolate would become as legendary as the lady herself. One of the first Godiva shops still stands in the beautiful, historic Grand Place in Brussels.
