The Bayeux Tapestry is among the most important surviving objects in European history. This publication celebrates its remarkable loan to the British Museum and will remain an essential reference on the Tapestry for generations to come. The Bayeux Tapestry is a unique historical embroidery almost 70 metres long which tells the story of the events leading to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066 by William, Duke of Normandy. Its account of the eleventh century in England and France is like no other, revealing details from civil and military architecture to armour, seafaring and everyday life. Featuring a full-colour reproduction of the Tapestry, this exhibition book allows readers to follow the narrative visually while texts from international experts unpick the importance of the work in understanding this pivotal point in European history. The latest research into the Tapestry is presented across five chapters that explore its patronage, design and production, its status as an iconic work of art and its depictions of daily life. Focused profiles woven throughout introduce key figures from the world of the Tapestry offering moments of personal connection within the sweeping story.
