The Bayeux Tapestry was made to celebrate the victory of William the Conqueror's win over Harold Godwineson. The Bayeux Tapestry is 20 inches tall and 231 feet long (50cm tall and 70 metres long) . It contained 626 people, 190 horses, 37 ships and 33 buildings.

The aim of its creation was to show what happened so the conquest would be preserved in history.

The Bayeux Tapestry was almost certainly made by Saxon women on the orders of Odo, Bishop of Bayeux: it was Norman Propaganda justifying their attack on England & William of Normandy's seizure of the English throne.
