Description

The Bayeux Tapestry and the Norman Invasion

The book has an Introduction and has a Translation from the Contemporary Account of William of Poitiers. The second half of the book is given over to colour reproductions of various details of the tapestry. Measuring almost 70 meters long, the elaborate tapestry features an epic 58 scenes, each carefully embroidered with coloured wool yarns onto a linen backdrop. Originally made in England back in the 1070s, the artwork depicts historic scenes from the Norman conquest of England, ending in the infamous Battle of Hastings in 1066. Viking ships, Norman and Saxon cavalries, bloody battle scenes and images of King Edward and William the Conqueror are all brought to life on the tapestry, with each scene captioned in Latin.
