Bayeux Tapestry
The Bayeux Tapestry is an embroidered cloth about 70 metres long depicting the events leading to the Norman conquest of England, ending with the Battle of Hastings in 1066. It was probably made in England in the 1070s for Bishop Odo of Bayeux and long hung in Bayeux Cathedral. Among its scenes is Count Guy of Ponthieu's capture of the shipwrecked Harold Godwinson.
