About
A talk titled The Bayeux Tapestry: Between Myth & History at the Institut français du Royaume-Uni. Michael Lewis, lead curator of the British Museum's Bayeux Tapestry exhibition, and Leonie Hicks, Professor of Medieval Studies at Canterbury Christ Church University, discuss the significance of 1066 for the English and why the Bayeux Tapestry is such an important record of the Norman Conquest of England. The conversation examines the political circumstances depicted in the Tapestry and what purpose the embroidery might have had for those who created it. It is part of a series of curated events around the Bayeux Tapestry at the French Institute, held in English.
