520 8  Political intrigue and treachery, heroism and brutal 
       violence, victory and defeat - all this is depicted in the
       Bayeux Tapestry, an epic account of one of the pivotal 
       episodes in English history embroidered on a strip of 
       linen. Famously, it shows the stricken Anglo-Saxon king 
       Harold dying on the battlefield of Hastings in 1066 amid a
       shower of arrows, as axes clash, spears fly and fallen 
       warriors are trampled beneath charging hooves. However, 
       there is much more to this remarkable historical and 
       artistic treasure, which tells its tale with an intensity 
       and immediacy that speak to our modern world, almost 1,000
       years after its creation. Many mysteries and questions 
       still surround this unique embroidery and not all is as it
       might appear at first glance. Who made it, when, why, 
       where and what for? David Musgrove and Michael Lewis 
       skilfully lead us through the full story of the Tapestry 
       and the history it relates, providing illuminating insight
       into a world of fascinating details that might otherwise 
       be overlooked or their significance missed. They set the 
       events in the context of the machinations on either side 
       of the English Channel in the years leading up to the 
       Norman Conquest, and tease out what the Tapestry tells us 
       of the deeds of kings as well as aspects of everyday life 
       in medieval Europe.
