The Bayeux Tapestry is believed to have been created in the 11th century. It is commonly dated to the 1070s, shortly after the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. The exact date and the identity of the individuals involved in its creation remain uncertain, but it is widely accepted that the tapestry was commissioned to commemorate the events leading up to the Battle of Hastings and the Norman victory.
The Bayeux Tapestry is an embroidered cloth, not an actual woven tapestry, and it measures about 230 feet (70 meters) in length. It is housed in the Bayeux Museum in Bayeux, Normandy, France. The tapestry is a remarkable historical document, depicting the events of the Norman Conquest, including the Battle of Hastings and the events leading up to it.
