Online: A Norman stitch-up? The story behind the Bayeux Tapestry – The National Archives

9 October @ 3:00 pm – 3:45 pm BST

Explore the world of the Bayeux Tapestry.

Have you ever wondered who the main protagonists and the bit-players are in the Norman Conquest? Join Tom Licence as he examines their role in the run-up to 1066 and their actions in that fateful year.

Is the Tapestry a Norman stitch-up, or is it sympathetic to the English? Tom will use the Bayeux Tapestry to retell the story of the Conquest, reveal who is missing, and explore the political angles that are being presented.

Tom Licence is Professor of Medieval History at the University of East Anglia and Fellow of Magdalene College, Cambridge. His books include Harold, Warrior King and Edward the Confessor, Last of the Royal Blood, both in the series Yale English Monarchs.
