One of Europe s greatest artistic treasures, the Bayeux Tapestry depicts the events leading up to the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Though many assume it was commissioned by Bishop OdoWilliam s ruthless half-brotherit may also have been financed by Harold s dynamic sister Edith, who was juggling for a place in the new court. For all its fame, its origins and story are complex and somewhat cloudy.
For centuries it lay ignored in Bayeux cathedral until its discovery in the 18th century. In this intriguing study, medieval art historian Carola Hicks investigates the miracle of the tapestry s makingincluding the unique stitches, dyes, and strange details in the marginsas well as its complicated past. It quickly became a symbol of power: townsfolk saved it during the French Revolution, Napoleon displayed it to promote his own conquest, and the Nazis strove to make it their own.
