Britain's What's On Event Guide
What is Missing from the Bayeux Tapestry?
Evening Lecture with Dr David Musgrove
This talk will unravel the story told in the Bayeux Tapestry, but will also consider what is not shown, and why. As it stands, the Tapestry presents a binary conflict between Harold and William for the English throne in 1066, putting to one side other events and happenings. David argues that this is purposeful, advantageous to both men, and designed to create a narrative that helps the English accept William as their king.
