The Bayeux Tapestry was made before 1082, most people think it was finished in 1077 but some think it was finished later on no one knows exactly when it was started or finished but people mainly agree that it was started and finished before 1082. It was comissioned by Bishop Odo of Bayeux.

The Bayeux Tapestry is a 70m (230 foot) long by 0.5m (20 inches) wide strip of linen that contains a series of embroided pictures illustrating the Norman invasion of England. The Tapestry includes pictures of 626 people, 190 horses, 37 ships and 33 buildings. It is believed that Bishop Odo, William the Conqeror's half-brother, organised the making of the tapestry. The embroidery was probably produced by a group of English needle workers.
