Answer The Bayeux Tapestry is a masterpiece of Propaganda, justifying William of Normandy's claim to the English Crown. The vast majority of people at the time were illiterate, unable to read or write, and this is why the story is told in pictures. ___________________________________________________________ There are words along the top of most of the scenes, though it is in Latin and a very rudimentary form itself. Most lay people could read basic Latin because they could read the Psalter in Latin.
Another argument to illiteracy is the some scholars believe that the tapestry was performed and the simple Latin inscriptions may have been a cue for the performer.
