Britain's Bayeux Tapestry at the Museum of Reading

Here you can read the tale told by the Bayeux Tapestry. The story of William the Conqueror and Harold, Earl of Wessex, the men who led the Norman and Saxon armies in 1066. William's defeat of Harold at the Battle of Hastings ensured the success of the Norman invasion of England. The entire Tapestry is available to view in sections, with a description above each. The site can be used as an extra resource for Bayeux education sessions or on its own.
