Why is bayeux tapestry not really a tapestry?
The definition of tapestry is: tap·es·try n.pl. tap·es·tries1. A heavy cloth woven with rich, often varicolored designs or scenes, usually hung on walls for decoration and sometimes used to cover furniture.2. Something felt to resemble a richly and complexly designed cloth: the tapestry of world history.tr.v. tap·es·tried (--strd), tap·es·try·ing, tap·es·tries (--strz)(from the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.)Technically, because the designs are embroidered onto the background and not woven into the fabric, the Bayeux Tapestry is actually an embroidery and not a tapestry. Among pictorial cloths of this scale, tapestries are far more common than embroideries, as the tapestry is woven on a loom while the process of embroidering stitch-by-stitch usually lends itself more to small-scale works. Because of this, many people have come to associate the term tapestry with all large scale pictorial cloths whose design is carried out by thread, without realizing the difference between the threads being part of the woven fabric versus being embroidered onto an already existing cloth. In the case of the Bayeux Tapestry, the term was incorrectly applied because of this lack of distinction, but it has been retained largely for the sake of tradition and its popularity.1 1 R.

How did Harold I die?
According to common myth - he was killed by an arrow to the eye - sent by a Norman archer. This may be verified by the Bayeux tapestry which clearly shows a man, similar to how Harold looked in previous parts of the tapestry, with an arrow in his eye. Contemporary accounts of the battle do not mention an arrow, but suggest that after Harolds bodyguards (the housecarls) were finally picked off by the Norman archers, Harold was left unprotected. He was quickly set upon by Norman knights who promptly hacked him to death. To make sure he was dead, the body was supposedly chopped into many small pieces. Not a nice way to go!
Was Harold shot in the eye before the shield wall broke at the Battle of Hastings?
It is well believed that Harold Godwinson died by being shot in the eye. But there are other theories. Beside the man being shot in the eye on the bayeux tapestry, there is a man being trampled by a horse. Some historians believe this to be Harold. There is also another theory that he didn't die at all and in fact went into hiding. But he probably got shot in the eye. It's the most likely.

The tapestry should hang on your wall and be big enough to add significant decor, but small enough so that it does not overwhelm the room.
