Tapestries

Thread and Balance In a small town many years ago, the Tapestry family walked to work enjoying the simple pleasures that the morning offered. Timothy Tapestry was a tall man with blond hair and a subdued face. He had lived in this town his whole life, and just like any other morning, he gazed happily at the hills in the distance. Ever since he was young, Timothy had marveled at how the sun lit up those hills in the morning, and since he was a creature of habit, he did the same today. Past his thoughts

emerged from this era was the Bayeux Tapestry. Although Romanesque art is mainly religious, the tapestry is not about a Christian figure, but a pictorial narrative that depicts in full detail the events that lead to the Norman conquest of England. “It presents a rich representation of a particular historic moment as well as providing an important visual source for eleventh-century textiles that have not survived into the twenty-first century” (khan).

professionally trained soldiers. They prepared carefully for the battle. The Normans had knights on horseback (Calvary) who were skilful fighters. William also was skilful and ambitious, and he was determined to be King of England. In the Bayeux Tapestry, it shows William’s army preparing for battle, embarking huge ships filled with wood and supplies such as wine, weapons, and horses. There are also pictures of the knights in full battle armour riding out to war. William’s men also had better armour

William's soldiers had been waiting and feasting across the English Channel so were well prepared for the battle while Harold's men were tired, battle-weary and many had died during the battle with Harald Hardrada.

During and before the battle there were also several crucial developments to help William. Harold Godwineson forced his army to travel
