The Story of the Bayeux Tapestry
The Bayeux Tapestry is a nearly 1,000-year-old embroidered cloth, about 70 meters long, that depicts the events leading up to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, including the Battle of Hastings where William the Conqueror defeated King Harold II. Believed to have been created in the 1070s, likely in England or Normandy, it serves as one of the most important visual records of medieval history
