Tapestries

Part A - The Bayeux Tapestry as a historical source The Bayeux Tapestry is a primary source. The Bayeux Tapestry is a primary source of history because it was created just after the Battle of Hasting, which took place on the 14th of October 1066 A.D/C.E. The Bayeux Tapestry was created in the 11th Century. The person who commissioned the Bayeux Tapestry was Bishop Odo. Bishop Odo was the half-brother of Duke William, who was the leader of the Normans. He created the Bayeux Tapestry in honour of the

The final thoughts for Tapestry is that the company is currently successful and there is potential to grow further within the marketplace. Tapestry’s background and history gave insight into the company’s marketplace, target market, and advertising methods. The different market factors that will impact the retailer the most in the future are technology and consumer demographics. This informed Tapestry’s recommendations. For example, many consumers are part of Generation Y (Espinoza, 2016). Consumers

Harold made a fatal mistake of prematurely entering the Battle of Hastings. William was a better leader because although Harold had the upper hand in the battle and they were losing, William managed to outwit and defeat the English. In the Bayeux Tapestry there is a scene depicting that in the days preceding the

Hastings was because of his preparation and readiness for the battle. His army were provided with cavalry that were trained to kick, bite and head-butt. This is shown in the Bayeux Tapestry and source 3 where there are soldiers seen fighting on horses. I know that William’s half-brother organised the creation of the tapestry so the information on it is likely to be accurate. This meant William won the Battle of Hastings because he had an extra weapon that the English didn’t have therefore could surprise

Duke of Normandy, William the First: Conqueror or Bastard? William the Conqueror: a powerful man who was taking what was rightfully his, or an illegitimate son thirsty for power, only history can tell if his actions were an act of justice. This debate contains a lot of confusion between promises, traditions overlapping, the support of the people, and proven powerful enough to rule. After understanding the conflicts at the time, history has proven that William the Conqueror proved to have a legitimate

with artistic prowess and low-self-esteem, they were small and resembled those of a pigeons, minus the short attention span. Her clothing matched her unique physical features, her blouse was covered in flowers that reminded me of an old Victorian Tapestry. By now, her food had arrived and she had not yet acknowledged the fact that I was observing her and her every move. She picked vicariously at her nuggets (which happened to be my meal as well). She plucked the chucks of chicken breast bit by bit

The final scene in the Bayeux tapestry (intact). Displays William 1st defeating King Richard in 1066 at the Battle of Hastings. In all wars in the medieval period, the victors always would purge the defeated sides perspective, especially in Williams time. The Bayeux tapestry presents only Williams victories, because it was made Odo, his half-brother. All of the scenes in the tapestry depict William as a righteous, merciful and just leader. From the Anglo-Saxon side, there are no primary sources currently

Personally, I felt that A Tapestry of Browns and Greens was an exceptionally written and thought-provoking essay from start to finish. I loved how immediately author, Nalini Nadkarni, Ph.D, was able to draw parallels between her own mixed heritage as an Indian/Hindu/Brooklyn/Jewish child growing up in the 1960s, with the unique tapestry like quality that exist with the nature and the environment. This emotional opening paragraph managed to grab my attention right from the start and never let go.

Norman success in late 11th century England The tactics used by William the Conqueror and the Norman army, militarily, administratively, and culturally, impacted their success in imposing their power within the English kingdom. These tactics worked in tandem, increasing the success of each of their objectives. The military force used by the Normans was useful in gaining and later maintaining territories for the crown, the administration allowed William the Conqueror’s reign to act in a more effective

Church as the greatest show on Earth. Saints provided local appeal in areas the Pope never visited, and let's face it, popes didn't get out of Rome much in those days. This was believed to be true for a long time because it is recorded on the Bayeux Tapestry, for a long time the main source of information on the history of the times, but the that embroidery was commissioned by a relative of William's and contains a lot of propaganda to justify the Norman rule of England. History is written by the
