The Story of the Bayeux Tapestry
Unravelling the Norman Conquest
David Musgrove & Michael Lewis
Description
Political intrigue and treachery, heroism and brutal violence, victory and defeat – all this is depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry, an epic account of a pivotal moment in English history.
However, there is much more to this remarkable historical and artistic treasure, which tells its tale with an intensity and immediacy that speak to our modern world, almost 1,000 years after its creation. Many mysteries and questions still surround this unique embroidery – and not all is as it might appear at first glance. Who made it, and when, why, where and what for?
David Musgrove and Michael Lewis set the events depicted in the context of the machinations on either side of the English Channel in the years leading up to the Norman Conquest and teases out what the Tapestry tells us of the deeds of kings as well as aspects of everyday life in medieval Europe.
