About this book
The vivid scenes on the Bayeux Tapestry depict the events leading up to the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Who commissioned the tapestry? Was it Bishop Odo, William's ruthless half-brother? This book shows how we remake history in every age and how a great work of art has a life of its own.
