Where did the info come from for Bayeux Tapestry?
i think that William of normandys brother told some women to sew it. so it was from the normans point of view. The winners write the history books. __________________________________________________________ The origin of the Bayeux Tapestry was William's wife Mathilde who had sewn it with a few other women. The tapestry depicts the Battle of Hastings 1066 ___________________________________________________________ Actually, no one really knows who commissioned it. The best evidence lies with Bishop Odo of Bayeux being the commissioner since he shows up at least three times in the narrative where as Matilda does not. Also, it was found in storage in the Cathedral of Bayeux in 1476, a cathedral commissioned by Bishop Odo of Bayeux, William's half brother, in 1077. Secondly, it could have also been from the Anglo Saxon point of view as well. Many images throughout the tapestry point to and Anglo Saxon hand in it, namely, the throne on which Edward the Confessor sits in the first panel. The dog head motif is definitely Anglo Saxon. Though most of the architecture is Romanesque, the depiction of Bosham, the baronial castle of Harold, is Anglo Saxon. The tapestry not only depicts the Battle of Hastings, it also shows the events of two years prior leading up to the Battle.
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."
