The Story of the Bayeux tapestry : unraveling the Norman conquest / David Musgrove, Michael Lewis. by Musgrove, David, author., Lewis, Michael John, author. New York, New York : Thames & Hudson Inc., 2021 Description:  352 pages : illustrations (chiefly color), color map ; 25 cm Contents:  Introduction: a remarkable survival -- Putting the Conquest in context -- A unique embroidery -- The story begins -- Captive in France -- At the court of Duke William -- The Brittany campaign -- A sacred oath -- Harold becomes king -- William raises an army -- The lull before the storm -- The great battle -- The Bayeux Tapestry and its legacy. Summary:  Political intrigue and treachery, heroism and brutal violence, victory and defeat - all this is depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry, an epic account of one of the pivotal episodes in English history embroidered on a strip of linen. Famously, it shows the stricken Anglo-Saxon king Harold dying on the battlefield of Hastings in 1066 amid a shower of arrows, as axes clash, spears fly and fallen warriors are trampled beneath charging hooves. However, there is much more to this remarkable historical and artistic treasure, which tells its tale with an intensity and immediacy that speak to our modern world, almost 1,000 years after its creation. Many mysteries and questions still surround this unique embroidery and not all is as it might appear at first glance. Who made it, when, why, where and what for? David Musgrove and Michael Lewis skilfully lead us through the full story of the Tapestry and the history it relates, providing illuminating insight into a world of fascinating details that might otherwise be overlooked or their significance missed. They set the events in the context of the machinations on either side of the English Channel in the years leading up to the Norman Conquest, and tease out what the Tapestry tells us of the deeds of kings as well as aspects of everyday life in medieval Europe.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Peosta Library Circulation Stacks 746.44 Mus 2021 Checked In Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
