The Mystery of the Bayeux Tapestry

The Mystery of the Bayeux Tapestry explores the hidden political and religious subtext woven into the famous 11th-century embroidery. While traditionally viewed as a piece of Norman triumphalism celebrating William the Conqueror’s victory at the Battle of Hastings, author David J. Bernstein argues that the tapestry is actually a subversive Anglo-Saxon commentary.
