About this book

The Bayeux Tapestry is one of the most famous and most puzzling works of art ever made: seventy metres of embroidered linen telling the story of the Norman conquest of England. But what if its stitched scenes say far more than anyone has assumed? In 1066: The Hidden History in the Bayeux Tapestry, Andrew Bridgeford invites you to look again at the great medieval frieze, scene by scene and thread by thread. Beginning with a walk through the town of Bayeux and into the dim gallery where the tapestry is displayed, the book follows the dramatic story of Harold Godwinson, Duke William of Normandy and the year that changed English history. Along the way it examines the Latin inscriptions, the strange creatures in the borders, the everyday details of medieval life, and the puzzling figures and episodes that have divided scholars for generations. The book explores the people who may have shaped the work, from Bishop Odo of Bayeux to Count Eustace of Boulogne, and asks who really commissioned it and why. Part detective story, part history of the Conquest, it is an engaging read for anyone fascinated by medieval England, Normandy, art and the secrets hidden in a thousand-year-old masterpiece.
