The Bayeux Tapestry

The Bayeux Tapestry celebrates the conquest of England by William, Duke of Normandy. Viking-like ships, Norman cavalry and Anglo-Saxon foot-soldiers illustrate the exploits of the Conqueror and King Harold in their fight for the throne of England. Anticipating the arrival in Britain of the tapestry after 952 years, this one-day course will study it in depth. Against the political and cultural backdrop of 1066 England, every scene in the tapestry will be ‘read’ and analysed.
