Talk
Explore the world of the Bayeux Tapestry.
Abbreviatio of Domesday Book, around 1241. Catalogue reference: E36/284 f2v
Have you ever wondered who the main protagonists and the bit-players are in the Norman Conquest? Join Tom Licence as he examines their role in the run-up to 1066 and their actions in that fateful year.
Is the Tapestry a Norman stitch-up, or is it sympathetic to the English? Tom will use the Bayeux Tapestry to retell the story of the Conquest, reveal who is missing, and explore the political angles that are being presented.
