The Bayeux Tapestry's secret code of tyranny and injustice

Mit navn er Jernan Maldonado, og jeg er grundlægger af Aoi, en gavebutik med fokus på kunstner og håndladede produkter. Jeg valgte Shopify, før da jeg testede andre platformer, var det klart en af de mest brugervenlige. Det var vigtigt for mig at tænke over, hvor vi ville være i fremtiden. Alle værktøjerne til at få overblik over saldet, f.eks. lagerstyring, er lige der i dit kontrolpanel.

The Bayer tapestry has famously come home to England this year and, from September 2026 until summer 2027, it's going to be displayed in the British Museum in a blockbuster exhibition. To remind you, it's a monumental embroidery composed of nine linen panels, on which has been stitched in woollen thread the story of ten sixty six and the clash between England's Harold and Normandy's William, which culminates in the Battle of Hastings. It was probably made in England, even though it commemorates

English defeat and Norman victory. The story is told in an arresting graphic novel style, and there are borders above and below the action that may or may not relate to the narrative. There are many questions that need answering about how this huge work of art was created, and Professor Gail Owen Crocker has tackled them in her new book, The Design of the Bayer Tapestry. She is in conversation in this episode with Dave Musgrove, who himself is co-author of a book on the subject, The Story of the Bayer Tapestry.
