What is the story behind the bayeux tapestry?

AnswerThe Bayeux Tapestry is a long, strip of cloth with depictions of the events leading up to the Battle of Hastings in 1066, and of the battle itself, in which William, Duke of Normandy (William the Conqueror) defeated King Harold and became King William I of England.It is roughly 20 inches high and over 200 feet in length and the story is told in pictures with captions in Latin - a kind of medieval cartoon strip.Strictly speaking it is not a tapestry, as the words and pictures are embroidered onto the cloth.It is made about the year 1077 and is thought that William the Conqueror's half brother, Bishop Odo, ordered it to be made.The original "Tapestry" can be seen in a special museum in Bayeux, France, and there is a copy of it, made in the 1880's, in the Museum of Reading, in Reading, Berkshire in England. For the benefit of those outside England, The Museum of Reading is not about books, it's about the place called "Reading" and it's pronounced "Redding."
