1067 One source claims this as the date of the death of Godgifu, or Godgyfu, wife of the Earl Leofric of Mercia – better known as Lady Godiva.
However, an old encyclopaedia says: “She probably died a few years before the Domesday survey of 1085 and 1086, and was buried in one of the porches of the abbey church.” (Source)
Everyone that gets an authority into his hands tyrannizes over others; as many husbands, parents, masters, magistrates, that live after the flesh do carry themselves like oppressing lords over such as are under them, not knowing that their wives, children, servants, subjects are their fellow creatures, and hath an equal privilege to share them in the blessing of liberty.
Gerrard Winstanley, leader of the Diggers, died on September 10, 1676
Wheresoever there is a people united by common community of livelihood into oneness, it will be the strongest in the world, for they will be as one man to defend their inheritance.
Gerrard Winstanley
For surely this particular property of mine and thine hath brought in all misery upon people. For first, it hath occasioned people to steal one from another. Secondly, it hath made laws to hang those that did steal. It tempts people to do an evil action and then kills them for doing it. Let all judge if this not be a great devil.
Gerrard Winstanley

Just think, nobody thought this would last.
