The Bayeux Tapestry was woven to show what the Normans thought of their conquest of England. It was a Norman view so may not be entirely correct. It was also used as propaganda.

Some bad things are that because a French person made it the French are in the best position and it doesn't show the battle of Stamford where the English won.

The Bayeaux Tapestry illustrates the Battle of Hastings in 1066 C.E., in which William the Conqueror, of Normandy, became King of England, overturning the Anglo-Saxon kings.Studying the tapestry will teach you a lot about how people dressed, lived, worked and fought in the 11th Century. The Bayeaux Tapestry at a minimum shows medieval arms, armor, modes of dress, hairstyles and transportation. For example, a single detail, showing the death of Harold II (Harold Godwinson), highlights chain-mail armor; casque helmets with nose guards; kite-shaped shields studded with arrows; spears; swords, and horses with saddles and bridles. Other details show how agriculture was practiced. There are castles and Viking-type ships with figureheads, and on and on.Click on the related link below to browse scenes from the Bayeaux Tapestry.
Yes, it is. It is the only taperstry made that shows the story of the Battle of Hastings. The Normans paid the Saxons, who were very well known for their taperstry, to create it so show of their great victory. As it was made by the Saxons historians do not know if it was changed slightly so it didn't make them look too weak. It it around 50cm high and 70m long. Hope this helps!
