Bayeux Tapestry |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| Depicting the Norman conquest of England by William I and the events leading up to it, the 11th-century Bayeux Tapestry is one of the most famous tapestries in the world. The inscriptions worked into the design help describe the action, and the depictions of costume, arms, and other details are faithful to reality. | ||||||
