The Bayeux Tapestry is an extraordinary work of art. Made in the 11th century it tells the incredible story of the Norman conquest of England. Betrayal, bravery, invasion, and bloody battle. It is a truly epic saga. Nearly seventy metres in length, the tapestry depicts hundreds of characters, animals, buildings and ships, illustrating the end of the Viking and Anglo-Saxon era and the beginning of the age of chivalry. The tapestry still holds many mysteries: who commissioned it, who created it, where was it made and for what purpose? Mysteries of the Bayeux Tapestry, BBC 2022
