Why is the bateaux tapestry not useful to historians?
It is from a Norman perspective ( which means it is biased) seamstresses were not at the battle and were told what happened (the info passed on could be false) ----------- That is an extremely uninsightful, and incorrect, answer. The Bayeaux tapestry is immensely useful to historians. First and most important, it shows us the Norman perspective of the battle, which has historical value in it sown right. Second, it contains subtle commentary by the embroiderers (who many historians believe were Saxon) in a series of tiny figures worked into the borders of the tapestry, ranging from mythological to satirical. They give us insight into the mindset of the people working on the piece. Lastly, the manner in which the tapestry has been interpreted down through the centuries offers insight into the values and historical perspective of each time period involved. There have been whole books written about that one aspect of the work. To say that the piece has "no historical value" because the events it depicts may reflect the writer's (embroiderer's) cultural perspective is extremely simplistic, and presupposes that the historical record is normally accurate and pure. Josephus did not personally witness every event he recorded in ancient Rome, yet we consider his writings an important part of the historical record. even though we recognize his cultural bias. While the Bayeaux Tapestry is not a primary source, it is a valuable secondary source that offers historians a wealth of information on the world the Conquest took place in, as well as the event itself.
