The Bayeux Tapestry – A Medieval Mystery

The source of information for the Battle of Hastings is told in the 58 distinct visual scenes on the Bayeux Tapestry.  This priceless 11th Century medieval art, alive with controversy and myth, is currently on display at London’s British Museum, where tickets sold out in minutes through 2026.  Is this Norman propaganda to legitimize William the Conqueror's invasion of England, or is this a true account of the events as they enfolded in 1066? Come learn what is known or not known about this tapestry and the history of this conquest.
