The Bayeux Tapestry, nearly 70 meters in length, was created shortly after the events it illustrates. It serves as a significant historical artifact, depicting the Norman viewpoint of the Battle of Hastings.
This tapestry emphasizes the narrative of the victors, focusing on the Normans' perspective during the pivotal year of 1066.
While the tapestry is a valuable resource, it is important to recognize that it does not encompass the full story, as alternative accounts can be found in older English texts.
