What is the story behind the bayeux tapestry?
AnswerThe Bayeux Tapestry is a long, strip of cloth with depictions of the events leading up to the Battle of Hastings in 1066, and of the battle itself, in which William, Duke of Normandy (William the Conqueror) defeated King Harold and became King William I of England.It is roughly 20 inches high and over 200 feet in length and the story is told in pictures with captions in Latin - a kind of medieval cartoon strip.Strictly speaking it is not a tapestry, as the words and pictures are embroidered onto the cloth.It is made about the year 1077 and is thought that William the Conqueror's half brother, Bishop Odo, ordered it to be made.The original "Tapestry" can be seen in a special museum in Bayeux, France, and there is a copy of it, made in the 1880's, in the Museum of Reading, in Reading, Berkshire in England. For the benefit of those outside England, The Museum of Reading is not about books, it's about the place called "Reading" and it's pronounced "Redding."

Why is bayeux tapestry not really a tapestry?
The definition of tapestry is: tap·es·try n.pl. tap·es·tries1. A heavy cloth woven with rich, often varicolored designs or scenes, usually hung on walls for decoration and sometimes used to cover furniture.2. Something felt to resemble a richly and complexly designed cloth: the tapestry of world history.tr.v. tap·es·tried (--strd), tap·es·try·ing, tap·es·tries (--strz)(from the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.)Technically, because the designs are embroidered onto the background and not woven into the fabric, the Bayeux Tapestry is actually an embroidery and not a tapestry. Among pictorial cloths of this scale, tapestries are far more common than embroideries, as the tapestry is woven on a loom while the process of embroidering stitch-by-stitch usually lends itself more to small-scale works. Because of this, many people have come to associate the term tapestry with all large scale pictorial cloths whose design is carried out by thread, without realizing the difference between the threads being part of the woven fabric versus being embroidered onto an already existing cloth. In the case of the Bayeux Tapestry, the term was incorrectly applied because of this lack of distinction, but it has been retained largely for the sake of tradition and its popularity.1 1 R.

How important is The Bayeux Tapestry to a historian studying the Norman conquest?
The Bayeux Tapestry is important since most paintings during the Medieval Ages consisted of Christian Art. The Bayeux Tapestry was one of the few found to have contained the daily life of peasants, kings and so on. This showed many researchers what life was like in the Medieval Ages. So basically it "opened" our eyes to the Medieval world
