Unearthing the Other Side of 1066

The Bayeux Tapestry arrives in London, reviving interest in the pivotal year of 1066 and the Norman Conquest. This nearly 70-meter-long embroidered artwork narrates the events surrounding the Battle of Hastings, focusing on William of Normandy's victory over King Harold Godwinson of England. However, while the tapestry celebrates the victor's tale, alternative narratives can be uncovered in old English texts, offering insight into the perspectives of those who lost.
