Why can you not fully trust the Bayeux Tapestry?

We do not trust the Bayeux Tapestry because it was written from a Norman point of view, this means that the Normans could have exaggerated their victory or left out great things that the Saxons did. They did this to make themselves sound greater and more powerful than they actually were. As a result of this, it made viewers think of the Normans as alot better than the Saxons.


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.

The Bayeux Tapestry was woven to show what the Normans thought of their conquest of England. It was a Norman view so may not be entirely correct. It was also used as propaganda.

Is the Bayeux Tapestry a piece of propaganda and why Please can I have more than one reason?

Yes, it was, because it was told from the point of view of the Normans, who won the war. There are a lot of images telling how Harold betrayed William of Normandy.
