Stop writing answers that are not helpful

Even though it is called a Tapestry, It is in fact an embroidery There are almost 2000 latin words on it.
There are 7-8 meters of it missing
It’s approximately 70 meters long!
It consists of 8 peices of material sown together
There are over 600 people on it.
Over 200 equines on it
It survived purely off luck
And it was made by laid/ couched work and stem stitched work

I want a simple easy answer it also has to make sense.
Why was it important for the Bayeux Tapestry to be hung from the pillars of the Bayeux Cathedral?

What does this say about the importance of religion in medieval society?

Try looking this up on wikipedia, you should find some answers there.

crossing scene from the bayeux tapestry

It is helpful for many reasons. It is unique. It has survived for almost a millenia almost intact (scholars believe that about 7 feet is missing from the end). It gives us historians insight to daily life of Anglo Saxon England on the eve of conquest (this is depicted in the bottom margin throughout the tapestry). It also shows military structure and battle tactics of the late 11th century.

Hey everyone, i was just wondering what are tapestries. i know what they are i just need to research about them. anyone got any good websites??? i also need to research about the Bayeux Tapestry. Any other sites???

Some general sites about the history of tapestry. I found all of these by typing ‘history tapestry’ into Google.

This is what I know:
it was made in the time of events (around 1066)
it helps ppl study what truly happened from ppl of that time
it provides a picture AND a caption of whats happening

Please help me identify some more reasons!…no wikipedia and please dont just make a summary/repeat what i said…

The definition of a primary source is that it was created at the time when the event(s) took place. That is the only reason why the Bayeux Tapestry is in fact a primary source. Whether it helps you study or has a picture and a caption has nothing to do with it being a primary source.

Hi,
We are catching a ferry to Le Havre on the long weekend in May. We want to cycle down to Bayeux over 2 or 3 days and would love to find quaint French villages along the way where we can stay. Do you have any recommendations of good villages to stay between Le Havre and Bayeux (or thereabouts)?
Look forward to hearing your answers.

Along the coast - going northward - Varengeville - Saint Valery en Caux - Etretat - there’s a small coast road - great cliffs - but looks very much like on the GB side - oysters - seafood - cows - green everywhere - bud God thanks no fish and chips - applewine instead is great - and milk dairies and cheeses

Hi all,
I’m from Canada and planning to go to visit the landing beaches and museums in Normandy. I heard Bayeux is the best base city to get access to those WWII sites. However, i’m still wondering if it is better to rent a car at Bayeux to visit the landing beaches in terms of convinience (e.g. available parkings along the beaches) and budjet (e.g. cost v.s. taking buses). Any suggestions will be appreciated…

Make Caen your base for exploring Normandy.

There is an excellant public bus system that will take you to most of the Normandy Landing sites, the cemeteries, memorials and museums. A one day bus pass can be purchased for 17.70 euros

Free bus timetables can be acquired from the main tourist office in Caen on the Place St Pierre and a map of the bus routes can be found here: http://www.busverts.fr/_hiver/plan.asp
