  3. History, embroidered as always by the victors, has arrived at the #BritishMuseum.

    In a later age, it might have made a thriller, a paperback and film called The Bayeux Tapes.

  4. So yesterday the Bayeux tapestry was transported, and because of the chatter about it I learned a couple of things. The best being that there exists a replica in Reading. readingmuseum.org.uk/blog/brea so all you Brits, skip the lines and stroll at leisure.
    Second I had forgotten all about it, but online you can zoom in and explore also at your liesure:

    Third is the most funny bit and is about penises. The replica in Reading, being sown by Victorian women has the human penises neatly covered by pants.

  9. "The Bayeux Tapestry, one of the most iconic cultural artifacts of English and French history, is written in Latin. Unsurprisingly so, as it was clearly commissioned by some arm of the Norman government, which was still conducting all writing in Latin in the 11th century.
    This Latin is very unique, however, and is not only a great case study on Latin medievalisms, but also very informative on the conditions in which the Tapestry was created."
