\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the highlights of our memorable trip to Europe was seeing the Bayeux Tapestry\u00a0\u2014\u00a0the story of the 1066 war. I’d just finished reading 1066: The Year of the Conquest<\/a>\"\"<\/em><\/strong> by David Haworth (highly recommended), so it was fresh in my mind, and it was interesting to see the differing perspective of this amazing piece of needlework. I was tempted to try to create a miniature version of a few of the scenes, but haven’t yet made it happen.<\/p>\n

Although this work is\u00a0called a tapestry, it’s simply a very long piece of linen \u2014\u00a0approximately 70 meters\u00a0\u2014\u00a0embroidered with the story of the battle. Scene after scene unfolds along the tapestry, and as we walked the length of it, I could picture dozens of women embroidering in the great hall of a castle, each with a section of the battle for her very own.<\/p>\n

You can learn more about the tapestry at the Bayeux Museum<\/a> or at the\u00a0official site in Britain<\/a>. Remember that Britain and France were on opposite sides of this battle, so each will tell the story from their own perspective.<\/p>\n

The animated version of the Bayeux Tapestry below brings it to life in a fresh way, and is guaranteed to make even small boys enjoy the tapestry!<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

You can see a panoramic view of the Bayeux Tapestry at the Bibliotheca Augustana<\/a>\u00a0website.<\/p>\n

Here is a Latin\/English guide to the Bayeux Tapestry,<\/a> with a description of each scene in both Latin and English.<\/p>\n

The Medievalists offer an extensive list of resources related to the tapestry<\/a> and its history.<\/p>\n

I’ll be adding this link to one of the British Literature units \u2014\u00a0perhaps Chaucer’s unit would be most appropriate. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
