Bayeux

The Bayeux tapestry depicts the struggle for power between William, Duke of Normandy, and Harold Godwinson, England’s last Anglo-Saxon king. The scenes conclude with William’s successful invasion of England in 1066 and his victory at the Battle of Hastings, which earned him the British crown and the nickname William the Conqueror.
