Detail from the Bayeux Tapestry depicting the events leading up to the Norman conquest of England. Specifically concerning William the Duke of Normandy and Harold, Earl of Wessex, and King of England. The events all lead up to the famous Battle of Hastings. It is not an actual tapestry, more an embroidered cloth that is almost 70 metres in length. It features fifty scenes with Latin tituli, or captions, and is thought to have been made in England in the 1070's.
