Non, l’armée du roi Harold n’est pas arrivée exténuée à Hastings pour combattre Guillaume le Conquérant en 1066 Il y a près de 1 000 ans, le dernier monarque anglo-saxon d’Angleterre s’inclinait face à l’armée normande. Un historien britannique bat en brèche l’explication de cette défaite avancée jusqu’à présen...

[6/6] Les chercheurs comme Michael Lewis soulignent que cette découverte renouvelle l’analyse de 1066. Elle rappelle que les récits historiques reposent sur des interprétations évolutives et que les sources peuvent encore transformer notre compréhension du passé. #history #Bayeuxtapestry #Hasting

Is the biggest march in English history a myth? My research shows King Harold sailed down to the battle of Hastings Once I had spotted a 200-year-old error, I was able to join the dots.

[1/6] Tom Licence, professeur d’histoire médiévale à l’University of East Anglia, réexamine les sources de 1066 et montre que le récit classique d’une marche épuisante vers Hastings repose sur une erreur d’interprétation des textes médiévaux.

An elaborate embroidery depicting a medieval scene. On the left a gold coloured tower with a stylised roof that extends across the image in an inverted V shape to another smaller tower in the right.  In the centre of the image a man with green robes and a crown is holding a sceptre in his left hand. To his left two presumed courtiers, one dressed in light blue edged with gold, and one in a darker burgundy colour. Above him the inscription Edward Rex. At the bottom of the image in the centre, two large golden birds, and to the left a couple of dogs, only one of which is fully visible. At the top are two mythical creatures, and what maybe a representation of plants or flowers. 

A high resolution copy of the original tapestry can be seen here: https://www.bayeuxmuseum.com/en/the-bayeux-tapestry/discover-the-bayeux-tapestry/explore-online/#explore

It's 1064, and Edward the Confessor sits on his throne in Westminster. The opening scene from maybe the most famous tapestry ever, the #BayeuxTapestry. This photo is from the Victorian copy of 1885 on permanent display at @readingmuseum.bsky.social. More in Alt.

Been to a fascinating lecture on the Bayeux tapestry. This is Bishop Odo fighting on the Norman side and brandishing a mace. Bishops were not allowed to arm themselves with a sword! #History #BayeuxTapestry

Why such a fuss with the #BayeuxTapestry & its travel to the #UK? If it is widely accepted to have been made in #England, shouldn't it be there instead of in a French museum?
Then taking into account that it should remain in 🇬🇧 the probability of it being damaged is not as high as many experts think

Sandra Sawatzky's "Black Gold Tapestry" is so impressive and epic.

She researched and embroidered the history of oil across multiple continents from dinosaurs to today— wars, invention of the car, historical events…

Here she talks about her process: storyboards and stitching... #BayeuxTapestry

Since everybody's talking (at least in the UK) about the #BayeuxTapestry, here's a '70s souvenir from Normandy.

The booklet opens to display the tapestry in full, but is too long to photograph flat. [Now to carefully refold!]

Standing in front of a great structural column is a wide heavy Purbeck marble font with a large central column and 4 further ones, two of which are visible. These sit on a base made to fit footprint of columns, which stands on a further square base, on yet another platform, made of large blocks of stone. The basin of the font is decorated with simple slightly elongated arches, two on each of the faces.
Behind and to the left is a great rounded Saxon arch leading to the sacristy. On the right can be seen a more recent arched window at the east end of the church.
