Unstitching the 1,000-Year-Old Story of the Bayeux Tapestry (Gift Article)

A very cool article with a great visual presentation. William, the duke of Normandy — that’s whom Harold has gone abroad to meet — will cross the Channel himself in 1066, and rout Harold’s forces at the Battle of Hastings on Oct. 14, 1066. #TimelineCleanse #BayeuxTapestry #Blues #SheShed

Mukaansatempaava kirjoitus Bayeux'n seinävaatteesta ja sen kertomasta historiasta.

www.nytimes.com/2026/09/11/a... Stitched in Kent, preserved in Normandy, the embroidery makes plain that heritage is never congruent with the ground beneath your feet. It ratifies, in wool, that English history is European history and every native is also a foreigner.

Unstitching the 1,000-Year-Old Story of the Bayeux Tapestry The medieval masterpiece has traveled from France to England for a once-in-a-lifetime show. It is not what our critic Jason Farago expected. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/11/a...

This has really cool close-ups of the panels, though they confuse eels with snakes. Also, the year my family fortune plummeted, forever looked down upon by my now lords and masters. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/11/a...

“It was stitched in the 1070s, historians believe, probably by secular English women” Probably?! Of course it was made by women. If a man had made it, we’d all know! www.nytimes.com/2026/09/11/a...

After reading this, I have so many questions. Who designed the panels? How did these quietly stitching women know about armor, royal costumes, Mt. St. Michel? Who was the man riding sides sidesaddle? Why? And where can I get striped socks like those? #womenartists ! www.nytimes.com/2026/09/11/a...
