Image description

Sewn by English women probably in Kent to a Norman brief, the embroidery illustrates the events leading to the Norman invasion and conquest of England by an army led by Duke William of Normandy and the death of King Harold at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. In the Palace of Westminster, Edward the Confessor (c.1003-66), King of England, instructs his wife's brother Harold Godwinson, Earl of Wessex, to go to Normandy. Harold rides to Bosham church to pray for a safe voyage and he and his men feast at his manor house in Bosham before their departure
