STORY OF THE BAYEUX TAPESTRY (PB)

Many mysteries and questions still surround this unique embroidery - and not all is as it might appear at first glance. Who made it, and when, why, where and for what? This book sets the events depicted in the context of the machinations on either side of the English Channel in the years leading up to the Norman Conquest, and teases out what the Tapestry tells us of the deeds of kings as well as aspects of everyday life in medieval Europe.
