The Bayeux Tapestry: A Medieval Masterpiece
The Bayeux Tapestry is a 950-year-old, 230-foot chronicle of the Norman Conquest and the Battle of Hastings, embroidered in the years following William the Conqueror’s invasion of England in 1066.
Historians have been analyzing and discovering elements of its story for centuries, including the idea that King Harold of England was killed by an arrow to the eye, and the appearance of a bright star, later identified as Halley’s comet, which was seen as a bad omen.
The tapestry also features a surprising motif: dozens of penises, with the exact number being hotly debated among historians.
The Bayeux Tapestry is one of the most famous pieces of art in the world, and an invaluable historical document.
