Near the Normandy coast of northern France, the village of Bayeux houses a remarkable treasure.
The Bayeux Tapestry may be found in its own museum in the former Great Seminary of Bayeux. Also
known as the Tapestry of Queen Matilda or the Cloth of the Conquest. This tapestry is
unusual. Because it is a very long, narrow strip of linen measuring 70 meters by 50 centimeters. Or
about 220 feet long. And only 20 inches tall. The tapestry is actually an embroidery of William the
Conqueror's invasion and conquest of England in 1066. It consists of 51 scenes with over 1,500
figures. Including warriors, horses, other animals, ships, castles, weapons, and other objects. Latin
words are embroidered on the scenes. To explain what is taking place at each stage of the invasion
and battle.
