With Professor Michael Lewis, Curator of the Bayeux Tapestry exhibition at the British Museum, historian Dr. Dave Musgrove and historian Helen Carr.
The nation has been gripped by what The New York Times has called "Bayeux Fever", following the extraordinary achievement of bringing the Bayeux Tapestry to the British Museum, but what mysteries are stitched into this remarkable, nearly 1,000-year-old creation?
Exhibition curator Professor Michael Lewis, and historian David Musgrove, co-authors of of The Story of the Bayeux Tapestry, join Helen Carr, and broadcaster Hannah MacInnes, to unravel the tapestry's hidden stories, exploring the world of Anglo-Saxon England, the Norman Conquest and the making of one of history's greatest works of visual storytelling.
This monumental embroidery tells the dramatic story of the events surrounding 1066 - a year that changed England forever. It witnessed the last successful conquest of the country and established a new royal dynasty from which the modern monarchy traces its history.
Few historical objects are as instantly recognisable, as widely studied or as endlessly reimagined as the Bayeux Tapestry. Now, discover the power, propaganda and enduring mysteries woven into its extraordinary story.
