The tapestry was completed, it appears, shortly after the events it portrays, but lost for many centuries before being discovered in Bayeaux Cathedral. It is not actually a tapestry at all, but an embroidery.

Was the Bayeux Tapestry Saxon or Norman?

The Bayeux Tapestry is preserved and displayed in Bayeux, in Normandy, France. Nothing is known for certain about the tapestry's origins. The first written record of the Bayeux Tapestry is in 1476 when it was recorded in the cathedral treasury at Bayeux as "a very long and narrow hanging on which are embroidered figures and inscriptions comprising a representation of the conquest of England". The Bayeux Tapestry was probably commissioned in the 1070s by Bishop Odo of Bayeux, half-brother of William the Conqueror. It is over 70 metres long and although it is called a tapestry it is in fact an embroidery, stitched not woven in woollen yarns on linen. Some historians argue that it was embroidered in Kent, England. The original tapestry is on display at Bayeux in Normandy, France. So it seems the jury's out on that one.

Where did tapestries come from?

Although it is hard to specify the originator of Tapestry, certain historians believe that it may have started in the early Greek civilizations. In fact, the very first version of the word Tapestry came from the Mycenaean Greek language. Further, the discovery of the oldest tapestry was a Greek design in the 3rd century BC. However, they were found in a dessert area located in the far west end of China.
